Key considerations
- Read the dispute clause
- Identify existing proceedings
- Ask about jurisdiction
A considered starting point
A reference to Dubai or the DIFC does not, by itself, settle jurisdiction. Bring the complete agreement, including governing-law and dispute-resolution clauses, for review.
Do not infer court representation permissions from a marketing description. Confirm the authorised professional and the process relevant to your matter.
Before your consultation
- Complete agreement
- Court or arbitration notices
- Party locations and transaction context
Keep documents safe; share only a brief description through the initial enquiry.
