Real Estate Law

Your Fortress in the Dubai Real Estate Market.

We provide the strategic legal armour you need to invest, develop, and transact with confidence. From contract to closing, we protect your assets at every step.

Protecting High-Value Property Investments

In a Fast-Moving Market, a Slow Lawyer is Your Biggest Liability.


Delayed handovers, unclear contract clauses, hidden fees – the Dubai real estate market is full of opportunities, but also full of risks. A reactive lawyer who just checks papers is not enough. You need a proactive partner who anticipates risks and aggressively represents your interests.

Case Studies

We Hold Developers Accountable.


When contractual obligations are not met, we pursue decisive legal action to protect our clients’ investments and enforce accountability.

The 2024 DIAC Victory

When a leading UAE developer failed to deliver on their promises, we took them to the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC). The result: a multi-million award for our client, a full refund, and a clear message to the market. We ensure contracts are honoured.

The AED 2.5 Billion Dispute

We led the legal battle in a complex, high-value lease dispute against a five-star hotel operator, demonstrating our capacity to manage and win cases of any scale.

F.A.Q.

Your Critical Questions, Answered.


What are the biggest risks when buying off-plan property in Dubai?

The primary risks are construction delays and changes in the final product. Our contracts include specific, enforceable clauses for delay penalties and quality assurance, protecting your investment from day one.

How can I legally protect myself from construction delays?

Protection starts with the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). We ensure it includes a clear, penalty-backed completion date. If a delay occurs, we are prepared to immediately initiate legal action through RERA or DIAC to enforce your rights.

What is the process for a real estate dispute in Dubai?

It typically starts with a legal notice, followed by an attempt at amicable settlement. If this fails, the case is filed with the relevant authority, either the Dubai Land Department's Rental Dispute Center for tenancy issues or the courts/DIAC for purchase disputes. We manage this entire process for you, aiming for the fastest possible resolution.

Can foreigners get a mortgage in the UAE? What is your role in this?

Yes, foreigners can get mortgages. Our role is to review the bank's mortgage agreement to ensure the terms are fair and protect your interests, and to coordinate with the bank and developer for a smooth transfer of title.
