Why it matters?
Many commercial disputes come down to wording: an unclear payment term, a missing termination right or a governing-law clause nobody noticed. A review before signing is cheaper than a dispute after.
Contracts we handle:
-
Supply, sales and distribution agreements
-
Agency and commercial agency agreements
-
Service and consultancy agreements
-
Joint venture and partnership agreements
-
Shareholders’ agreements
-
Franchise agreements
-
Lease and licensing agreements
-
NDAs, employment-related business agreements and settlement agreements
Common risks we look for:
-
Unlimited liability or one-sided indemnities
-
Unclear payment terms, penalties or interest
-
Weak termination and notice rights
-
Missing or poorly drafted dispute resolution clauses (court vs arbitration, seat, language)
-
Governing law that doesn’t match where you operate
-
Clauses that may be unenforceable under UAE law
How we work?
1.Understand the deal. Parties, commercial terms, risks and your priorities.
2.Review or draft. We mark up an existing contract or prepare one from scratch.
3.Negotiate. We propose changes and, where useful, deal with the other side.
4.Finalise. We prepare the signing version, in English, Arabic or both.
Timeline and cost
A simple review can take a few working days; complex agreements take longer. Fees depend on length and complexity. Contact us for a quote.
