What does a litigation lawyer in the United Arab Emirates do?
A litigation lawyer represents clients in court proceedings, arbitration and mediation, and advises on how to resolve a dispute before it reaches court. You are likely to need one when a contract dispute, debt claim or other disagreement cannot be settled informally, when you receive a claim, or when you need to enforce a judgment or award.
How do I find a good litigation lawyer in the United Arab Emirates?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in the United Arab Emirates, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each litigation lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does a litigation lawyer in the United Arab Emirates cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a local litigation lawyer in the United Arab Emirates if I am based abroad?
Matters governed by the law of the United Arab Emirates, or that involve its courts, registries or authorities, usually need an adviser qualified there. If you already have an adviser at home, they can often work alongside a local litigation lawyer in the United Arab Emirates, which keeps the advice joined up on cross-border matters.
Can I find an English-speaking litigation lawyer in the United Arab Emirates?
Many lawyers and advisers who work with international clients advise in English, but it is worth checking. Ask about working languages when you first get in touch, and whether documents can be provided in English as well as the local language.
