Practice areas

Most of our work sits in six areas. If your matter falls outside them, ask anyway — we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit or refer you to someone who is.

Corporate & company setup

Mainland and free zone incorporation, shareholder agreements, licensing, restructuring and ongoing corporate compliance.

Commercial contracts

Drafting and reviewing agency, distribution, supply, service and joint-venture agreements under UAE law.

Litigation & dispute resolution

Civil and commercial claims, debt recovery, cheque cases, mediation and arbitration before UAE courts and DIAC.

Real estate

Off-plan and secondary purchases, developer disputes, tenancy matters before RDSC, and lease drafting.

Employment

Contracts, terminations, end-of-service claims and MOHRE complaints for employers and employees alike.

Family & personal status

Wills registration, inheritance, divorce, custody and personal status matters for residents and expatriates.

How we work

Every matter follows the same four stages, so you always know where things stand and what comes next.

1

Consultation

We hear the facts, review your documents and identify the questions that actually decide the outcome.

2

Assessment

You receive a written view of your position, the realistic options and what each will cost.

3

Strategy

We agree a plan and fee with you before any work begins — no open-ended billing.

4

Resolution

We negotiate, draft or represent you through to settlement, judgment or signed agreement.
