Some disputes cannot wait for a tribunal to be constituted. Assets can be dissipated, evidence destroyed, a project pushed past the point of no return — all in the weeks it takes to appoint arbitrators. Emergency arbitration and interim relief exist for exactly this window, and we move swiftly to secure our clients’ positions within it.
Modern institutional rules — including DIAC’s — provide for an emergency arbitrator who can grant urgent relief before the tribunal exists. Once constituted, the tribunal itself may order interim measures under the UAE Arbitration Law. And in defined circumstances, the courts can grant interim or conservatory measures in support of arbitration — onshore or, for DIFC/ADGM-seated cases, through those courts. Choosing the right route, fast, is the core of this work.
Emergency applications — prepared and filed at speed, with the evidence marshalled to the standard urgent relief demands.
Asset and evidence preservation — freezing-style measures, orders preserving documents or property, and measures maintaining the status quo.
Resisting unjustified applications — acting for respondents against overreaching interim measures.
Follow-through — converting interim protection into a coherent strategy for the main reference.
