Can you run my case if I am not in the UAE?

Yes. Most matters run remotely. A power of attorney is required — it can be issued at a UAE consulate or before a notary with subsequent legalisation and apostille; we provide the exact wording and instructions for your country. Attendance in person is rarely needed and always agreed in advance.

What does a consultation cost and what is included?

AED 750–1,500 per hour depending on complexity. It covers review of your documents, an assessment of prospects and a written summary with an action plan. If you go ahead with a project, the fee is credited against it.

How long does debt recovery take in the UAE?

The pre-action stage starts from two weeks. A court case in Dubai usually runs 4–9 months to first-instance judgment, with enforcement adding another 1–3 months. Arbitration takes longer but the award is easier to enforce outside the UAE.

Do you guarantee the outcome?

No — a lawyer who guarantees an outcome is misleading you. We give an honest probability after diagnostics and decline matters with no prospects. On selected recovery cases we work for a success fee, which is where we put our own money on the result.

Service

Debt recovery

Demand, court or arbitration, account attachment. We work with debtors in the UAE and the CIS.

The issue: Your company delivered the services, but the client has not paid in full or in part. We help recover the contract debt in the UAE and secure actual repayment.
Timeline: Pre-trial settlement usually takes 7⁠–⁠14 days. Court or arbitration proceedings depend on the jurisdiction and the facts of the case — around 12 months on average.
Standard action plan: We review the contract, invoices, correspondence and other evidence. We send the debtor a Legal Notice and negotiate payment. If no agreement is reached, we handle recovery through court or arbitration and the subsequent enforcement of the judgment.
