Expert civil litigation and dispute resolution services across the UAE — from breach of contract claims to property disputes, personal injury, and enforcement of judgments.
A civil dispute is never just a legal file. It is money you are owed and cannot collect, a property whose value hangs in the balance, an injury someone else caused, or an allegation against you that threatens your finances and your peace of mind. We understand what these disputes cost — financially and personally — and we have built our civil practice around resolving them effectively.
Our philosophy combines three things: strategy, because a case won on the right theory at proportionate cost beats a pyrrhic victory; pragmatism, because settlement, mediation and litigation are tools to be chosen, not defaults; and empathy, because clients deserve to understand their position in plain language at every stage. We handle the full spectrum of civil matters — from the first pre-litigation letter, through trial and appeal, to the enforcement that turns a judgment into money.
That representation rests on deep working knowledge of the UAE Civil Transactions Law (Federal Law No. 5 of 1985), the Civil Procedure Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 42 of 2022, as amended), the Evidence Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 35 of 2022), and the sector rules — real estate, insurance, employment — that shape particular claims. Whatever your dispute, we will give you a candid reading of where you stand and a clear plan for what comes next.
When a party fails to meet their contractual obligations, the consequences can be financially devastating. We pursue and defend breach of contract claims across all sectors, seeking compensation for losses, specific performance, or termination of the agreement.
Learn more 02From filing a claim through to trial and judgment, we provide end-to-end representation in all UAE civil courts, advocating vigorously for our clients at every stage of the proceedings.
Learn more 03We handle the full spectrum of property-related disputes — landlord-tenant conflicts, SPA breaches, off-plan delays, construction disputes, and encroachment issues — protecting your property rights and investments.
Learn more 04Whether you have suffered financial loss, property damage, or personal injury, we pursue full and fair compensation — quantifying your losses and negotiating or litigating to recover the maximum available under UAE law.
Learn more 06If you have suffered injury due to someone else’s negligence, we help you claim full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering — road accidents, workplace injuries and public liability claims.
Learn more 07When professionals such as doctors, lawyers, accountants or engineers fail to meet their standards, we pursue claims for professional negligence, holding experts accountable for the losses their failures have caused.
Learn more 05Obtaining a judgment is only half the battle. We pursue execution proceedings to enforce judgments, seize assets, attach accounts and receivables, applying pressure until the debt is satisfied.
Learn more 08If you have received an unfavorable judgment, all is not lost. We assess the grounds for appeal, prepare compelling submissions, and advocate before appellate courts to overturn or vary decisions.
Learn more 09Whether you hold a UAE court judgment or an eligible foreign judgment, we pursue enforcement through all available mechanisms — identifying attachable assets and coordinating with enforcement authorities.
Learn moreWe don’t simply file papers — we develop comprehensive strategies that consider your long-term interests, reputation, and commercial objectives.
Every case is run with a single question in view: what outcome serves this client best, and what is the most direct route to it — through settlement or through judgment.
We know the UAE court system from the inside — its practices, its expert-report culture, and the procedural details that can make or break a case.
Legal proceedings are stressful. We provide clear, honest advice and regular updates, so you always know where you stand.
Where appropriate, we explore mediation and settlement to resolve disputes cost-effectively and preserve relationships — but we are always ready to litigate vigorously when required.
