Below are the areas of law we specialise in when helping individuals.

Wills, Estates and Trusts

Wills, estate planning, and administration of estates is our flagship service.  We have vast knowledge and experience in this area of law.  We prepare bespoke Wills for individuals, families, and business owners with local and international assets both in Dubai/Abu Dhabi/UAE and the UK.  Both Muslim and non-Muslim expatriates seek our advice on the laws that apply in the UAE and how a person’s family and assets can be protected through the DIFC or Dubai /Abu Dhabi Courts and/or offshore structures.  Our team also have the intelligence, skills, and experience to manage the administration of a deceased’s estate in the UAE, gifting of property, setting up family trusts,DIFC foundations and advising and representing clients in contentious Wills and estate matters

Family Law and Divorce

We are one of the foremost family law specialists in the region.  Our team are highly experienced in private family law matters including divorce, custody and access, guardianship of children, and financial settlements.  We are experts in both UAE/Sharia and UK family law and can advise you on which jurisdiction would be best for you to divorce in.  Our divorce lawyers, who are members of Resolution, will help you achieve a fair financial settlement and arrangements for your children in a non-confrontational manner where possible.  However, if court action proves inevitable, we will tenaciously represent your interests to secure the settlement you need to move towards a positive future.

Real Estate and Conveyancing

We advise and draft residential property sale and purchase agreements for local, overseas, and expatriate clients.  We can guide you through buying off-plan or a resale purchase transaction.  Also, we advise and represent individual and business clients in property-related disputes, either through Alternative Dispute Resolution methods, the RDSC or formal litigation.
