Employment litigation in the UAE includes disputes involving wrongful termination, end-of-service benefits, unpaid salaries, breach of employment contracts, workplace discrimination, non-compete violations, and employer–employee misconduct allegations. Our employment litigation team represents both employers and employees, filing and defending claims before UAE courts and labour tribunals. We provide strategic advice on risk mitigation, settlement options, and enforcement of judgments while ensuring compliance with UAE Labour Law.
5. Patent Litigation
Patent litigation arises when an individual, business, or corporation infringes on another party’s registered intellectual property. Our patent litigation lawyers handle disputes involving unauthorized use, counterfeit products, licensing violations, and intellectual property theft.

Our debt litigation team handles claims from initial demand letters to court filings, precautionary attachments, asset freezes, travel bans, and final execution proceedings.

What Is Litigation Law in UAE?
Litigation in the UAE operates within a dual-system framework combining civil law (onshore courts) and common law (offshore jurisdictions), making it one of the most versatile yet complex legal environments worldwide. Onshore courts follow Arabic-language, document-based proceedings, while DIFC and ADGM apply English-language common-law procedures. Enforcement mechanisms between these systems have significantly improved through cooperation agreements, allowing faster recognition of judgments and interim measures.
Key Characteristics of Litigation Law in the UAE:
Dual legal systems: Onshore civil law courts + offshore common law courts (DIFC, ADGM)
Three-tier onshore court hierarchy: Court of First Instance → Appeal → Cassation
Arabic-language proceedings in onshore courts; English-language in DIFC/ADGM
No general discovery in onshore courts; broader disclosure in DIFC/ADGM
Specialized tribunals handle labour, rental, banking, commercial, real estate & construction disputes
Strong enforcement framework including treaties, local cooperation agreements, and DIFC/ADGM enforcement routes
Interim relief & injunctions are available but vary significantly between jurisdiction

Legal Litigation Services- Frequently Asked Questions
What does a litigation lawyer do in Dubai?
