Litigation and Compliance

We support businesses in navigating both the preventive and reactive sides of legal risk—offering a unified approach that blends compliance advisory with strategic litigation management.

Our focus is on helping clients avoid disputes where possible, and resolving them effectively when they arise.

On the compliance front, we assist clients in building and maintaining regulatory frameworks aligned with UAE federal laws, free zone rules, and sector-specific obligations. This includes support with corporate governance protocols, economic substance regulations, anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) disclosures, ESR filings, and internal policy development. We work closely with clients to conduct internal compliance reviews, support risk assessments, and train key personnel, creating practical systems that evolve with the business.

​

When disputes do occur, we advise clients on litigation strategy, documentation, and procedural risks across UAE onshore courts as well as DIFC and ADGM jurisdictions. While we do not act as local advocates ourselves, we manage the litigation process end-to-end by closely coordinating with local counsel, overseeing pleadings, evidence preparation, timelines, and settlement negotiations. We are regularly involved in commercial disputes, shareholder conflicts, debt recovery actions, employment claims, and regulatory investigations.

Our role is to act as a steady legal partner, monitoring compliance risk proactively, and guiding dispute resolution efforts in a way that protects commercial priorities and reputation. For fast-growing companies, this dual approach ensures that legal risk is addressed early and escalated strategically when needed.
