Resolving business disputes with clarity, structure, and commercial intent
We advise and represent businesses, shareholders, and senior executives in commercial disputes across the UAE. Our focus is on managing legal risk without losing sight of commercial reality, helping clients protect value, maintain leverage, and reach sound outcomes.
Commercial disputes often emerge from active business relationships. Contracts, partnerships, agency arrangements, and investment structures can quickly become sources of exposure when obligations are not met or expectations diverge.
Our role is to introduce structure, perspective, and strategy. We assess the legal position early, identify risk and leverage, and guide clients through resolution or formal proceedings with close attention to business impact.
What We Do
We provide end to end legal support for commercial disputes, including:
-
Assessing claims, defences, and exposure at an early stage
-
Advising on dispute strategy, risk, and settlement options
-
Managing pre dispute negotiations and formal settlement discussions
-
Representing clients before UAE courts and relevant authorities
-
Handling enforcement proceedings and post judgment remedies
Our focus is on structured decision making, procedural precision, and outcomes that align with our clients’ business objectives.
