Dr Mohammad Alshraideh

Dr Mohammad Alshraideh is the founding and managing partner of PRIMECASE, a regional law firm headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, whose practice has been recognised as Commercial Law Firm of the Year in the UAE at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026. As the firm's founder and leader, he has built a practice known for arbitration, litigation and dispute resolution, serving clients across the Middle East and beyond.

The Corporate INTL Global Awards recognise leading advisers across jurisdictions and disciplines, and an award in commercial law is a significant distinction in the UAE, one of the region's foremost commercial and dispute resolution hubs. For a founder who has built a firm spanning five countries, the honour of Commercial Law Firm of the Year in the UAE reflects both leadership and a strong, multi-jurisdictional practice.

A regional dispute resolution and commercial firm

PRIMECASE is an established firm with more than 25 years in business and a team of over 25 lawyers, operating from offices in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Amman in Jordan, London in the United Kingdom, and Cairo in Egypt. This multi-jurisdictional footprint positions the firm to serve clients whose interests span the Gulf, the wider Middle East and international markets, a capability that is increasingly important as commerce in the region becomes more cross-border in nature.

The firm specialises in arbitration law, litigation and dispute resolution, and its capabilities include proceedings before the DIFC Courts involving matters such as bankruptcy, fraud allegations and disputes over financial instruments. Its lawyers are registered legal practitioners before the DIFC Courts, and the firm's recognition includes listings as a leading firm in Legal 500 EMEA and Chambers Global, along with awards acknowledging its arbitration work in the UAE. This blend of contentious expertise and commercial focus underpins its standing in the market.

Founding and managing partner

As founding and managing partner, Dr Mohammad Alshraideh has shaped PRIMECASE's development and direction. He has been recognised as a leading lawyer in Legal 500 EMEA for his outstanding contribution to the legal industry, a mark of the reputation he has earned over the course of the firm's growth. Leading a firm that operates across five countries requires both legal excellence and strategic vision, and the recognition of PRIMECASE as Commercial Law Firm of the Year in the UAE reflects the strength of the practice he has built.

Commercial law in the UAE and the wider region covers the legal framework within which businesses operate, from the contracts and transactions that underpin commerce to the disputes that inevitably arise when commercial relationships break down. A firm with deep dispute resolution capability is particularly well placed to support commercial clients, since it can both help structure arrangements soundly and represent clients effectively when conflicts emerge.

• Arbitration and dispute resolution
• Commercial litigation, including before the DIFC Courts
• Bankruptcy, fraud and financial instrument disputes
• Cross-border matters across the Gulf and wider region

Serving commercial clients across the region

The United Arab Emirates has established itself as one of the leading commercial and dispute resolution hubs in the Middle East, with specialised courts and arbitration institutions attracting business from across the region and around the world. A firm such as PRIMECASE, combining a strong UAE base with offices in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Kingdom and Egypt, is well positioned to serve clients operating in this environment, offering both regional reach and international perspective.

For businesses seeking commercial and dispute resolution counsel in the UAE and across the Middle East, PRIMECASE offers an experienced, multi-jurisdictional practice led by its founder. Dr Mohammad Alshraideh's recognition, and the firm's award as Commercial Law Firm of the Year in the UAE at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026, reflect both his leadership and the firm's position as a respected commercial and arbitration practice in one of the world's most dynamic legal markets.
