Trusted counsel. Measurable outcomes.

JUR advises on the full spectrum of civil and commercial law in the UAE. Our core practice areas include corporate structuring and M&A, contract drafting and disputes, real estate transactions, banking and finance, employment law, debt recovery, regulatory compliance, and family law for expatriates. We represent both institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals across litigation, arbitration, and out-of-court resolution. Whether the matter is a cross-border transaction or a time-sensitive enforcement action, JUR provides senior-level counsel from day one.

JUR operates with the responsiveness that complex, time-sensitive matters demand. For urgent matters — including precautionary attachment orders, injunctive relief, or emergency arbitration, our litigation team is structured to mobilise within 24 hours. Upon initial contact, a qualified attorney conducts a rapid case assessment to determine the most effective procedural pathway. We do not route urgent matters through administrative intake queues. Speed and legal precision are not trade-offs at JUR; they are concurrent deliverables.

Litigation refers to dispute resolution through the UAE's formal court system — the Dubai Courts or Abu Dhabi Courts for onshore matters, and dedicated tribunals such as the DIFC Courts for common law disputes. Proceedings are conducted primarily in Arabic in the onshore system, with judgments enforceable across the UAE.

Arbitration is a contractually agreed private process, administered by institutions such as the DIAC, ICC, or LCIA, and governed by the UAE Arbitration Law (Federal Law No. 6 of 2018). It offers parties greater procedural flexibility, confidentiality, and the ability to select arbitrators with sector-specific expertise. Awards are enforceable domestically and, for signatories, under the New York Convention internationally.

JUR advises clients on the appropriate forum at the outset of any dispute, taking into account contractual obligations, enforcement strategy, cost, and timeline.

Yes. JUR is qualified to advise and represent clients across all major UAE jurisdictions, including the Dubai Courts, Abu Dhabi Courts, DIFC Courts, ADGM Courts, and the relevant free zone regulatory bodies. Each jurisdiction operates under a distinct legal framework, UAE Civil Law onshore, English common law within the DIFC and ADGM, and the choice of jurisdiction carries material implications for enforcement, governance, and dispute resolution. JUR's multi-jurisdictional capability ensures clients receive coherent, strategically aligned advice regardless of where their entity is incorporated or where the dispute arises.

JUR applies fee structures calibrated to the nature and complexity of each mandate. For transactional and advisory work, we typically operate on a fixed-fee or retainer basis, providing clients with full cost certainty. For contentious matters, litigation or arbitration, fees are structured as a monthly retainer combined with milestone-based billing aligned to procedural stages. Hourly billing is available where scope is genuinely variable. In all cases, clients receive a transparent fee agreement prior to engagement, with no hidden disbursements. JUR does not offer contingency fee arrangements, in accordance with UAE Bar regulations.
