Mediated settlements are legally binding and enforceable as court judgments.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sub-title reveal\">Arbitration<\/h3>\n<p class=\"reveal\">Arbitration is a private adjudication process where a neutral arbitrator (or panel) issues a binding award. The <strong>Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC)<\/strong> and the <strong>DIFC-LCIA<\/strong> are the two principal arbitration institutions in Dubai.

As a general guide, straightforward debt recovery matters may cost AED 5,000\u201315,000 in legal fees, while complex <a href=\"https:\/\/albastiadvocates.com\/service\/commercial-law\/\" title=\"Commercial Law Services \u2014 Salha Al Basti Advocates\">commercial disputes<\/a> can exceed AED 50,000.

Dubai strongly encourages Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) through the Dubai Courts Mediation and Conciliation Centre, the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), and private mediation services. These routes are often faster, less expensive, and completely confidential. Our lawyers will advise whether ADR or litigation is better suited to your specific dispute.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need a lawyer who speaks Arabic to file a civil case in Dubai? <span class=\"faq-tog\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-ans\">All documents filed in Dubai Courts must be in Arabic, and court proceedings are conducted in Arabic. While you do not personally need to speak Arabic, your legal representative and all submitted documents must meet this requirement. Our team includes Arabic-speaking litigators and certified legal translators, ensuring your case is presented accurately and compliantly throughout the process.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What types of civil disputes can be filed in Dubai courts? <span class=\"faq-tog\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-ans\">Dubai courts have jurisdiction over a wide range of civil matters including: contract breaches and non-performance; <a href=\"#types\">property and real estate disputes<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/albastiadvocates.com\/service\/debt-recovery\/\" title=\"Debt Recovery Lawyers Dubai \u2014 Salha Al Basti Advocates\">debt recovery and bounced cheques<\/a>; landlord and tenant conflicts (including RERA-related matters); shareholder and partnership disputes; personal injury compensation claims; and employment-related civil matters. Cases involving entities registered in the DIFC may be heard in the separate DIFC Court system, which operates under common law.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens if the opposing party refuses to comply with a court judgment in Dubai? <span class=\"faq-tog\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-ans\">If a party fails to comply with a Dubai court judgment, the successful party can apply for <a href=\"#court-process\">enforcement orders<\/a> through the Execution Department of the Dubai Courts. Available enforcement measures include: bank account attachment and freezing, asset seizure, travel bans, and \u2014 in certain circumstances \u2014 property registration holds.

Mediated settlements are legally binding and enforceable as court judgments.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sub-title reveal\">Arbitration<\/h3>\n<p class=\"reveal\">Arbitration is a private adjudication process where a neutral arbitrator (or panel) issues a binding award. The <strong>Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC)<\/strong> and the <strong>DIFC-LCIA<\/strong> are the two principal arbitration institutions in Dubai.
