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?
A litigation lawyer in Dubai represents clients in civil, commercial, corporate, and financial disputes by preparing legal claims, responding to court notices, drafting submissions, gathering evidence, and advocating before UAE courts, DIFC, or ADGM to protect their legal and commercial interests.
When should I hire a civil litigation attorney?
You should hire a civil litigation attorney as soon as a dispute arises — especially when facing unpaid debts, breach of contract, property conflicts, tenancy or employment disputes — to ensure timely legal action, preserve evidence, and reduce your litigation risk.
Can litigation lawyers settle disputes without going to court?
Yes, experienced litigation lawyers can negotiate settlements, mediate disputes, or use alternative dispute resolution methods (ADR) to resolve issues efficiently, often avoiding the time and cost of full court litigation when appropriate.
How long does a litigation case take in Dubai?
Most litigation cases in Dubai take 6 to 18 months, depending on complexity, expert involvement, appeals, and whether the case falls under onshore courts, DIFC, ADGM, or specialized tribunals.
What does a trust litigation lawyer handle?
A trust litigation lawyer handles disputes involving inheritance, wills, estates, financial mismanagement, fiduciary duties, and conflicts between beneficiaries, often requiring detailed financial analysis and strategic litigation planning.
What is the difference between arbitration and litigation?
Litigation is resolved through UAE courts, while arbitration is a private dispute resolution process under bodies like DIAC, ICC, or UNCITRAL; arbitration is typically faster and confidential, whereas litigation allows appeals and court-enforced judgments.

Absolutely — litigation lawyers handle partnership conflicts, shareholder disputes, debt recovery, contract breaches, defamation claims, IP violations, and other commercial litigation matters affecting businesses and corporate entities
What types of cases does a litigation attorney handle in the UAE?

What is the role of court experts in UAE litigation?
Court-appointed experts provide technical reports in complex cases — such as construction, financial, or corporate disputes — and their findings often have significant influence on the court’s final judgment
Can foreign judgments or arbitration awards be enforced in the UAE?
Yes, foreign judgments and international arbitration awards can be enforced through UAE courts, DIFC, or ADGM routes, provided legal conditions are met under applicable treaties and local enforcement procedures.
Do litigation lawyers in Dubai handle settlement negotiations?
Yes, litigation lawyers often negotiate settlements at various stages of the dispute, helping clients reduce costs, avoid prolonged trials, and secure favourable terms without compromising legal rights.
Is litigation in the UAE conducted in Arabic?
Onshore UAE court proceedings are conducted in Arabic, requiring submissions, evidence, and pleadings to be translated; however, DIFC and ADGM litigation is conducted in English under common-law procedures.
