Main Areas of Practice:
•Local Disputes: We advise on the full array of litigation in front of all levels of the UAE Courts, as well as the DIFC Courts and the ADGM Courts.

•International Disputes: We have significant experience in representing clients before all prominent arbitral institutions around the world, including, but not limited to, the ICC, LCIA, ICSID, DIAC, ADCCAC, TAKJEEM (Sharjah), CAM (Milan), CAS and FIFA. We also have an exceptional dispute resolution team that can support you on cross-border litigation, both in the MENA region and internationally.
•Fraud and Criminal: Our lawyers are licensed to appear before all courts and we are exceptionally well-placed to provide legal advice in all aspects of criminal litigation. We also represent individuals in police investigations and criminal defence law; further, we are licensed to appear before police stations and the public prosecution service.
•Insolvency and Restructuring: Our experts are skilled at finding solutions to the most complex of situations, with expertise in acting for licensed insolvency practitioners, banks and other lenders, debtor companies and their boards, and trade creditors. We also assist our clients in disputes arising from restructuring and insolvency situations, whether contesting court decisions issued in insolvency proceedings or advising on the risk of liability incurred by directors and others.
