Arbitration & MediationCase Overview:
In a construction dispute involving a high-profile commercial project in Dubai, our law firm successfully navigated the mediation and arbitration processes to achieve a favorable outcome for our client. The dispute arose due to delays in project completion and disagreements over payment terms between the client, a prominent developer, and the contractor.
Legal Strategy and Approach:
Our team of experienced construction law attorneys conducted a comprehensive case investigation, analyzing the contract terms, project records, and relevant documentation.
We engaged expert witnesses with in-depth knowledge of construction schedules, costs, and industry standards to provide testimony supporting our client’s position. Through meticulous examination of evidence and close collaboration with the client, we developed a robust defense strategy focused on highlighting the contractor’s breach of contractual obligations and the resulting damages.

- Expert Witness Testimony: Presenting expert witnesses who provided professional opinions on delays, costs, and the contractor’s performance, strengthening our client’s position during mediation and arbitration.
- Examination of Evidence: Analyzing project records, correspondence, and invoices to gather evidence supporting our client’s claims and rebutting the contractor’s arguments.
- Defense Strategy Development: Crafting a persuasive defense strategy that focused on proving the contractor’s breach of contract, assessing damages, and seeking appropriate remedies.

Through skillful negotiation during mediation and presenting a compelling case during arbitration, our law firm secured a favorable settlement for our client.
