Disputes,strategically resolved.

Appearance before onshore UAE courts is reserved to registered Emirati advocates. We act as your strategic counsel, prepare the case and instruct and coordinate registered advocates from our collaboration partners for the courtroom. In arbitration and before the DIFC and ADGM Courts, representation is through appropriately qualified practitioners with whom we work directly.

Arbitration offers confidentiality, a neutral tribunal, party-appointed expertise and international enforceability under the New York Convention, but can be costlier for smaller claims. Court litigation can be faster and cheaper where parties and assets are in one jurisdiction with reliable courts, and offers broader interim relief. If your contract already fixes the forum, the question is how to use it well; if you are drafting, we design the clause around the realistic dispute.

A typical commercial arbitration under the DIAC Rules 2022 runs twelve to eighteen months from request to award, with expedited procedures for smaller claims. Costs comprise DIAC administrative fees and tribunal fees (scaled to the amount in dispute), legal fees and expert costs. We model the budget against the realistic recovery before recommending that you proceed.

Yes. India has notified the UAE as a reciprocating territory, so UAE judgments from superior courts can be executed in India through the Code of Civil Procedure without a fresh suit. UAE courts enforce Indian judgments subject to reciprocity and treaty conditions. Arbitral awards are enforceable in both directions under the New York Convention. Procedure and timing depend on the forum and the judgment; we run enforcement on both sides.

Onshore courts can grant precautionary attachments over assets and bank accounts, travel bans in certain circumstances and other conservatory measures, often quickly and before the substantive claim. The DIFC and ADGM Courts grant injunctions, freezing orders and disclosure orders on the common-law model. Arbitral tribunals and emergency arbitrators can also order interim measures. Speed matters; the first days often decide recovery.

Yes. Our founders have practised in Pune since 2011, and we coordinate commercial, arbitration and enforcement proceedings across Indian courts and tribunals with enrolled counsel, running UAE–India disputes as one matter.

As the most likely outcome and therefore as a strategy, not an afterthought. We build a credible litigated position first, because that is what produces good settlements, and then use structured negotiation or mediation at the moment of maximum leverage. Settlement agreements are drafted to be enforceable as awards or judgments where possible.

We give a staged budget at the outset: assessment and strategy as a fixed fee, then phased estimates for pleadings, evidence, hearing and enforcement, updated as the matter develops. Third-party litigation funding is available for suitable claims and we can introduce funders. We are candid when a claim does not justify its cost.
