Handling case preparation, hearing advocacy, and post-award enforcement across DIAC, DIFC, and international conventions.
We provide comprehensive representation in arbitration matters, guiding clients through the full dispute resolution lifecycle—from pre-dispute contract advisory to the final enforcement of awards. Our approach ensures disputes are resolved efficiently, confidentially, and with strategic precision across domestic and international jurisdictions.
As a preferred alternative to court litigation in the UAE, arbitration requires deep procedural expertise. We represent clients before leading arbitral institutions, ensuring that outcomes are not only favorable but also strictly enforceable within the UAE's evolving legal framework.
Our approach to arbitration is rigorous and commercially grounded. From the outset, we analyse the strengths and vulnerabilities of our client's position, develop a coherent case theory, and structure proceedings to maximise the efficiency and persuasiveness of the presentation. We invest heavily in early case assessment, evidence gathering, and expert coordination—ensuring our clients are never surprised by developments in the proceedings.
Where enforcement of awards is required, we are experienced in navigating the New York Convention framework, the UAE Federal Arbitration Law (Federal Law No. 6 of 2018), and the DIFC protocols. We pursue recognition and enforcement proceedings in onshore UAE courts and DIFC courts, and coordinate enforcement in foreign jurisdictions where necessary.
