Dispute Resolution

About

Provided by Afridi & Angell

Afridi & Angell’s dispute resolution team is recognised as one of the strongest in the UAE. Its in-depth knowledge of the law and court procedure, commercial approach and ability to offer workable solutions is valued by clients.

We represent clients in civil and criminal matters with a number of our lawyers having advocacy rights to appear before the DIFC Court. In the local courts, our team assists and coordinates litigations with local advocates to develop strategies, evaluate facts and formulate legal positions for clients in the enforcement of awards and judgments. We built very close working relationships with UAE advocates which enable us to instruct the right advocate for the job and in supervising the case.

The team is very active in arbitrations under various arbitration rules including the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Centre and the Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation & Arbitration Centre (ADCCAC). We represent clients in international and ad hoc arbitrations. Such cases have involved concessions, constructions contracts, contractual payment claims, banking matters, commercial agencies, partner disputes, foreign currency, futures trading and other investment matters.
