Focused practice areas for complex UAE matters.
Our practice areas are built around disputes, criminal defence, corporate conflict, enforcement and regulatory matters — the areas where our team delivers the strongest results for clients in the UAE.
The matters clients come to us for first.
Commercial and corporate disputes in UAE courts, DIFC and arbitrations. Comprehensive case support: from filing a claim to enforcement of decisions, in Russian, English and Arabic.
Defence in criminal proceedings in the UAE: fraud, breach of trust, embezzlement, cybercrimes. We enter the case at any stage — from the first interrogation to appeal.
Partner disputes, battles for company control, asset stripping, management deadlocks. We provide comprehensive protection in complex corporate disputes, focusing on business stability and legal security.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments in the UAE. Asset seizure, account freezing, tracing debtor assets. Defence against unjustified enforcement.
Account blocking, AML checks, requests for source of funds. We formulate a position that resolves the regulator's questions rather than creating new ones.
Business setup in the UAE, shareholder agreements, corporate governance. We build a legal foundation to eliminate future disputes.
Challenging Interpol Red Notices, defence against extradition, removal of entry bans. We work directly with the Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files (CCF).
Each practice area is led by experienced lawyers with proven expertise in the UAE legal system. Select the area closest to your matter to learn how we can help.

How the practices work together
Matters in the UAE rarely stay inside one practice. A commercial disagreement arrives as a criminal complaint because a complaint is quick and its effects are immediate. A creditor holding a foreign judgment needs a precautionary attachment before recognition is even heard. A frozen bank account turns out to sit on top of an investigation nobody told the client about. Treating those as separate files handled by separate people is how cases are lost.
The seven areas below are organised around that reality. Each page sets out what the practice covers, how the procedure actually runs in the UAE and what the first steps look like — and points to the analysis where a question needs more than a page. If you are not sure which area your situation falls into, that is itself a useful answer: describe the facts and the classification is our job.
