About The Company

Huspy is one of the leading property technology companies in EMEA.

Launched in 2020, we now operate in multiple cities across the UAE and Spain, expanding into Saudi Arabia and 3 more European markets by 2026. Today, we own the largest portion of the UAE mortgage market and are one of the fastest-growing players in every European city we've entered.

We've raised over $140 million (Series A and Series B) from the world's top investors, including Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund and Balderton Capital, to reshape the homebuying journey through powerful technology and agent-first tools.

We've built a SuperApp that empowers real estate agents and mortgage brokers, bringing cuttingedge technology to one of the world's most traditional industries. We're transforming how property transactions happen faster, smarter, and better for everyone.

We're not slowing down. The question is: will you be part of what's next

The Main Event: What You'll Drive, Build, and Own

The Legal Counsel will work closely with the Legal Director to implement the organisation's legal strategy and manage a diverse portfolio of legal matters across the GCC. The role focuses on Employment & HR, Disputes & Litigation, Commercial Contracts, and Regulatory advisory.

  • Draft and maintain standardized employment contracts across the GCC.
  • Advise HR on terminations, disciplinary actions, and employee disputes.
  • Ensure company policies comply with evolving labour laws.
  • Support the design of regional incentive schemes and compensation structures to ensure local enforceability.
  • Implement strategy for managing disputes, litigation, and regulatory inquiries.
  • Act as the primary liaison for external counsel across GCC markets.
  • Conduct internal fact-finding and evidence collection for litigation or regulatory investigations.
  • Manage complaints and claims to mitigate business and reputational risks.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including vendor contracts, partnership agreements, technology licensing, and service agreements.
  • Support high-value contracts and strategic negotiations led by the Legal Director.
  • Develop and maintain standardized contract templates for routine operations.
  • Monitor and summarize regulatory updates in real estate, mortgage, and financial sectors across UAE, KSA, and wider GCC.
  • Proactively flag relevant regulatory developments to the Legal Director.
  • Provide day-to-day legal advisory support to business units to ensure cross-border compliance.

The Perfect Match: What It Takes to Succeed at Huspy

  • 34 years PQE with demonstrated experience supporting legal operations across multiple GCC jurisdictions; UAE and KSA experience strongly preferred.
  • Licensed to practice law in a common law jurisdiction (e.g., UK, US, Australia) and/or a GCC jurisdiction, with strong practical application in UAE and KSA.
  • Full fluency in English and Arabic (written and spoken), with the ability to review dual-language documents.
  • Based in Dubai, UAE.

What Will Make You Stand Out

  • Reliable, proactive, and capable of independently managing responsibilities while maintaining clear communication with the Legal Director.
  • Proven ability to manage legal matters across different GCC legal systems.
  • Strong interest in FinTech/PropTech and enthusiasm for contributing to innovation in the real estate and mortgage sectors.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with a solution-oriented and adaptable approach.
