Disputes in a fast-moving and dynamic business environment such as the UAE form part of every commercial and personal relationship. Whether it be companies, partnerships, or sole proprietors, any dispute arising needs to be resolved efficiently and effectively. Our highly experienced Litigation & Dispute Resolution Lawyers in the UAE at HHS Lawyers in Dubai will ensure that your issues remain well-protected and justice is delivered through full legal consultation on all matters related to dispute issues.
Litigation is defined as the process of taking a dispute before a court of law for determination by looking into evidence presented before the judge or jury to arrive at a legal decision. In the UAE, litigation is governed by both the principles of civil law and Islamic Sharia law. The UAE’s legal framework is very comprehensive and provides laws concerning most disputes related to commercial, civil, criminal, labor, and family cases.
Excluding litigation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods are an effective way of settling disputes outside courts at a very low cost compared to litigation expenses. Basically, there exist three categories into which ADR methods may be divided: arbitration, mediation, and negotiation.
Mediation is the process through which, with the help of a third party called the mediator, the two parties in the dispute communicate in such a manner that the result, in the form of an agreement, is mutually agreeable and acceptable. The process is purely voluntary and confidential; it maintains relationships. Our mediation experts guide the parties toward amicable settlements that involve saving time and resources.
Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process in which parties agree to submit their dispute to one or more arbitrators who make binding decisions. The UAE is a signatory to the New York Convention, and hence, every arbitral award shall be recognized and can be enforced globally. The lawyers at our firm have gained valuable experience in representing clients in many arbitration proceedings under various regulations, including those of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
Negotiation means that the parties to the dispute sit down, discuss, and solve their disputes without any interference from third-party people. Our lawyers are experts in negotiation and work hard to bring out the best possible result for our clients by adopting appropriate and persuasive strategies of negotiation.
Before any litigation or ADR process is pursued, we offer pre-litigation consultation for the assessment of the merits of the case and potential risks and choosing the best dispute resolution alternative.
Our attorneys consider a case through an in-depth analysis of evidence collected and related documents. An analytical strategy emanates from such analyses, offering our clients most feasible & proper possible outcome.
We represent clients before all instances of UAE courts: Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, and Court of Cassation. Our lawyers are well aware of the procedures of the courts and work hard to present the most persuasive arguments in support of a client’s case.
We undertake strong representation before arbitration and mediation proceedings to safeguard the interests of our clients. Our lawyers are conversant with a number of complex structures for both arbitration and mediation and work hard to advocate effectively on behalf of our clients.
Our negotiation skills are directed toward getting our clients the best possible settlement and, therefore, avoiding the need for extensive litigation in most cases. We efficiently resolve controversies with the least possible disruption to our clients’ private and business lives.
A favorable judgment does not end the process. Our Lawyers’ Team assists clients in the enforcement of Court Judgments and Arbitral Awards to ensure proper execution of results.
