Dispute Resolution

DIFC and ADGM Courts

The U.A.E. is unique in the sense that it has both English and Arabic platforms for Dispute Resolution. There are both Common Law and Civil Law Courts in the U.A.E. for resolving disputes. The Dubai International Financial Centre Courts (DIFC Courts) and Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts (ADGM Courts) operate in English on a Common Law platform and have presiding judges from the U.A.E. as well as other Common Law jurisdictions. We are registered with both the DIFC and ADGM Courts and have an active practice before the said Courts representing clients in disputes related to construction, real estate development, banking and finance.
