DISPUTE RESOLUTIOn

Commercial litigation covers a number of different business-related issues and disputes. At Davidson & Co, we are able to assist through each stage of the process, whether it is related to corporate or construction, employment or real estate. Our highly experienced arbitration lawyers have also represented clients in the UAE to advise on multi-jurisdictional disputes.

Our dispute resolution lawyers and litigation specialists have an in-depth knowledge of the federal and local laws, regulations and practices relating to real estate. With years of experience in real estate and property litigation, our team regularly advises contractors, investors, developers, owners, buyers/sellers, and real estate and construction companies on disputes ranging from sale and acquisition to joint ventures.

We assist both employers and employees with contentious disputes before the Dubai Labour Court and the DIFC Small Claims Tribunal and Courts.

We also advise and assist clients with the mediation process at the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation and free zone authorities. We extend our services to both employers and employees for dispute resolution.

At Davidson & Co we assist clients from private clients to major developers, contractors or property investors on all aspects in the construction industry. This includes claims management, dispute avoidance and resolution, including international arbitration and litigation within DIFC and onshore courts.

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), which is a way of resolving disputes between two or more parties with concrete effects and is highly encouraged by the courts. As Mediation has become an important part of the litigation process, we make sure to provide in-depth support for our clients through Mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes.
