Civil disputes
Contractual claims, compensation and civil liability.
Litigation is a right guaranteed to all people under the Constitution of the UAE. Our litigation team brings together lawyers and legal advisors with over 40 years of combined experience pleading before the Courts of First Instance, the Courts of Appeal, the Court of Cassation and the Federal Supreme Court, as well as the DIFC Courts.
Every matter starts with a rigorous review of the facts and documents, followed by a clear strategy — from pre-action letters and urgent measures to pleadings, expert meetings, appeals and the execution of judgments.
Our team handles the most complex disputes — civil, criminal, commercial, real estate, rental, labour, wills, companies and family — supported by a dedicated technical and administrative team that follows every file at each stage: conciliation, first instance, appeal and cassation.
