Employment and visas for your UAE consultants, fully managed.
Auxilium sponsors work visas and employs your consulting staff across the UAE, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider GCC, as your Employer of Record. We handle residency visas, family sponsorship, compliant contracts, payroll and HR. Whether or not you hold a UAE entity, we handle the employment so your firm has genuine local presence without running an in-house back office for it.
Clients want you local; the employment shouldn't be the obstacle.
In much of the GCC, commitment to the region is part of how clients select advisers, a resident partner, a delivery team in their timezone, an established local presence. But placing people on the ground means residency-visa sponsorship, family residency for those relocating, compliant contracts and payroll, a specialist workload for what may be a small in-region team.
Auxilium handles that for you. We become the legal employer of your consultants, sponsor their visas and dependents, and run payroll and HR, with confidentiality and non-solicit terms drafted to hold up under UAE law. Firms with a UAE entity use us to keep a small consulting team's employment off their central function; those without one gain resident presence without incorporating.
We run the employment for you
You have a presence here, but would rather not run a small consulting team's visas, payroll and HR in-house.

Gain local presence without one

Look like a local firm
Resident consultants signal commitment to the region, without you proving it with a costly office first.
Relocate a partner cleanly
Move a senior person to lead GCC delivery, employment, visa and family residency handled as one process.
Enforceable restraint terms
Confidentiality and non-solicit drafted for UAE law, protecting client relationships and confidential work.
⚑Non-compete/non-solicit enforceability turns on specifics and current law, have restraint clauses reviewed for the UAE.
Consulting firms typically place a small, senior presence first, a partner, an engagement lead, a couple of consultants. Free-zone employment is quicker and cheaper to process; mainland employment via MOHRE gives broader scope to deliver across the UAE economy. We confirm the right route for each placement and handle the residency-visa sponsorship, including family residency for a relocating partner.
For senior partners and engagement leaders, the UAE Golden Visa can apply where basic salary meets the executive threshold, useful when relocating someone to anchor regional delivery long-term.
Worth getting right: confidentiality and non-solicit terms need to be drafted for UAE law to be enforceable, a home-country template may not carry over. As your Employer of Record we issue compliant contracts with restraint terms appropriate to professional services and enforceable locally.
Whether or not you hold a UAE entity, we run the visas, payroll and HR, giving you resident, client-facing presence without building your own employment function.
GCC clients increasingly expect advisers to be present in-region, not flown in for each engagement.
As more international work runs through the UAE and Saudi Arabia, clients reward firms with resident, on-the-ground teams, but the volume of regional work often doesn't yet justify a permanent office and entity. That tension is exactly what an EOR resolves.
Placing a consultant or partner through an EOR gives a firm genuine local presence quickly, lets the office decision follow the revenue, and makes an eventual transition to its own entity orderly rather than forced.
Reflects UAE/GCC professional-services market conditions and UAE Golden Visa provisions as of 2026. Enforceability of restraint terms and visa eligibility should be confirmed case by case.
Consulting firms tell us clients increasingly expect people in the room, not flown in. The ones that build regional trust fastest place a resident consultant early, and let the office decision follow the revenue rather than precede it.
