Yamina Maqueira

Ms. Yamina Maqueira is a highly multilingual Legal Consultant at Al Safar & Partners, fluent in French, Spanish, Arabic, and English. This exceptional linguistic range positions her as one of the firm's most versatile advisors for international clients across Francophone Africa, the Maghreb, Latin America, Spain, and wider Arabic-speaking markets.

Her legal advisory practice spans family law, commercial contracts, civil disputes, and general legal consultancy. She is particularly experienced in advising French-speaking and North African clients — including Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian nationals — on their legal rights and obligations under UAE law, often drawing on her knowledge of the similarities between the civil law traditions of these countries and the UAE's French-influenced legal framework.

Ms. Maqueira provides clients with support across a range of UAE legal matters: divorce and family proceedings for expatriates, business registration and licensing, employment matters, rental disputes, and guidance through UAE administrative procedures. Her empathetic approach and ability to communicate across languages and cultures make her a reassuring presence for clients dealing with complex or emotionally charged legal situations.

She is committed to the principle that every client — regardless of background or language — deserves clear, respectful, and expert legal advice, and she works tirelessly to ensure that language is never a barrier to accessing justice at Al Safar & Partners.
