Leaking Business Secrets in the UAE May Get You Locked Up and Fined A Lot

According to a legal expert, employees in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) may be fired without cause for disclosing trade secrets if doing so causes a loss of revenue or benefits the employee.

According to Raka Roy of Galadari Associates and Law Consultants, as stated by Khaleej Times, divulging trade secrets might result in a minimum sentence of one year in prison and a minimum fine of AED 20,000 ($5,446).

Nonetheless, divulging business secrets online is considered a cybercrime, which carries a minimum jail sentence of six months and a maximum fine of AED 1 million ($272,300). According to her, employees are required to surrender all company documents after their employment ends and are not permitted to keep originals or copies in their own possession.

In the UAE, employers have the legal authority to sue any employee who violates a confidentiality agreement. Raka claims that the business may bring a claim while the person is still on the job or within a year after their dismissal.

She emphasized that, on the other hand, the time restriction does not apply when employees reveal financial information about their company.

The word "confidential information" is not defined under UAE law, however, any information that a worker has access to while on the job may be considered secret knowledge.
