What should I do if I am arrested in Dubai?

Stay calm and do not resist. You have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer. Do not sign any documents or make any statements before speaking to a criminal defense lawyer. Call us immediately; we will tell you exactly what to do from that moment.

How fast can a criminal defense lawyer reach me in Dubai?

Our team is available now. When you call or WhatsApp us, we respond immediately. For urgent situations, like arrest, police questioning, or an imminent hearing, we treat your case as a priority from the first contact.

What happens at Dubai criminal court?

Criminal cases in Dubai start at the Public Prosecution stage. The prosecution decides whether to send the case to the Court of First Instance. If convicted, you can appeal to the Court of Appeal and then the Court of Cassation. Each stage has deadlines. Having a lawyer from the start gives you the best chance at every stage.

Can I be deported after a criminal conviction in Dubai?

Yes. A criminal conviction in Dubai can result in deportation and a re-entry ban, especially for expats. This makes early legal intervention critical. The sooner you involve a criminal defense lawyer, the more options you have to prevent this outcome.

What is the difference between criminal defense and criminal litigation?

Criminal defense is the work done to protect your rights and build your case before and during trial. Criminal litigation refers specifically to court proceedings. Our team handles both. We defend you from the moment of arrest and represent you in court if the case goes that far.

Can you handle a criminal case if my family member is arrested and I am outside Dubai?

Yes. We work with family members who are abroad and need to help a loved one facing criminal charges in Dubai. We can act on your behalf, keep you fully informed, and represent your family member in all court proceedings, you do not need to be in Dubai yourself.

Does Leaders Advocates handle criminal cases for expats and non-Arabic speakers?

Yes. Our criminal defense team speaks Arabic, English, Russian, Urdu, Turkish and Hindi. We have handled criminal cases for clients from across Europe, South Asia, Russia, and the Arab world. You do not need to speak Arabic to get strong legal representation in Dubai criminal courts.

Construction Litigation

Construction litigation in the UAE means solving a construction dispute through the courts. It is used when the parties cannot agree and the contract does not send the case to arbitration.

These cases are heavy with papers. Judges look at the contract, the drawings, the site reports, the payment records and the opinion of technical experts. That is why you need a team that understands both the law and the construction work.

Common problems include:

Unpaid invoices and payment claims
Late completion and project delays
Poor work and building defects
Contract cancellation

The right lawyer turns a messy site dispute into a clear legal claim.

Start Here

Tell us which problem matches yours and we will explain your options.

My contractor stopped work and will not finish my project.

I completed the work and the client refuses to pay.

My building has defects and the builder will not repair them.

My project is very late and I am losing money.

My contract was cancelled and I think it was unfair.

I received a legal notice or court claim about my project.

I need a construction contract dispute lawyer before I sign a settlement.

I won a judgment and need help to collect.

Why Leaders Advocates

Litigation, Contracts and Property Under One Roof

Construction problems often touch contracts, real estate, banks and company law. We look at the whole picture, so you do not need to start again with a new lawyer.

We Understand Both Law and Construction Papers

Our construction litigation lawyers read contracts, variation orders, delay notices, payment certificates and site reports every day. We know which papers matter most in court.

We Act for Every Side

We represent owners, developers, main contractors, subcontractors and consultants. That gives us a full view of how each side thinks.

6 Languages Including Russian and Urdu

Many project teams and investors in Dubai do not speak Arabic. We explain your case in your language and speak for you in Arabic and English.

Complete Confidentiality and Professional Discretion

We tell you the truth about your case, the time and the cost. We never promise a result. Your project details stay strictly private.

Types of Construction Litigation

Our construction litigation attorneys in Dubai handle many types of disputes. These are the most common ones.

Payment and Variation Disputes

The contractor was not paid, or the owner says the bill is too high. Extra work was done but not approved. We recover what you are owed, or defend a claim that is not fair.

Delay and Disruption Claims

The project finished late, or work stopped for reasons outside your control. We prove who caused the delay and claim extra time, extra cost or compensation.

Construction Defect Litigation and Repairs

The work is poor, cracked, leaking or unsafe. We handle construction defect litigation and repairs claims, so the builder fixes the problem or pays for the repair. We also deal with serious structural defects.

Contract Termination Disputes

One side ended the contract and the other side says it was wrong. We check if the termination was lawful and claim loss or defend the decision.

Subcontractor and Supplier Disputes

Money does not flow down the chain, or materials were not paid for. We protect subcontractors, suppliers and main contractors.

Consultant and Engineer Liability Claims

A design error, a bad inspection or a wrong certificate can cause huge loss. We act for people who suffered the loss and for consultants who face a claim.

Understanding The Law

Court, Arbitration or Settlement?

Many people ask if a construction case must go to court. The answer is in your contract. Some contracts send disputes to arbitration, which is a private process. Others use the courts. Some use steps like talks, mediation or expert review first. Choosing the wrong route can waste time and money, so we read your contract before anything else.

Where Is a Construction Case Heard?

Most construction cases in Dubai are filed in the Dubai Courts. If the parties agreed in writing, a case can go to the DIFC Courts. A case can move from the Court of First Instance to the Court of Appeal and then to the Court of Cassation. Every step has strict time limits.

Not sure which route fits your dispute? Speak to our construction dispute lawyers in Dubai. We explain it in plain words.

OUR PROCESS

Step 1: Case Review

We study:

Your contract and the dispute
Payment, delay and quality issues
Your records and evidence
The best legal plan

Step 2: Steps Before Court

We handle:

Legal notices and payment demands
Talks and settlement offers
Safe keeping of site records and proof

Step 3: Court Case

We manage:

Filing your claim, or answering the claim against you
Technical and cost experts
Every hearing

Step 4: Judgment and Collection

We follow through with:

The court's judgment
An appeal within the time limit, if needed
Enforcement, so you actually receive what the court orders

A construction case is won by good proof. We build your case from the first day.

YOUR OPTIONS

Negotiate and Settle

Many construction disputes end faster with a written deal. We negotiate for a fair result and check every line before you sign.

Mediation or Expert Review

Your contract may require these steps first. We tell you if they apply and prepare you for them.

Arbitration

If your contract has an arbitration clause, the case may need to follow that route. We read the clause and explain it clearly.

Fight the Case in Court

If talks fail or your rights are clear, we file or defend the case and represent you at every hearing.

Facing a construction dispute in Dubai? Contact our construction litigation lawyers in Dubai today. We study your case and tell you which option gives you the best chance.

Faris and Ekatrina were professional from the first consultation. They took the time to understand the circumstances of my matter and explained the relevant legal considerations clearly. I never felt that my questions were being rushed, and they made sure I understood the available options before making any decisions.

I particularly appreciated their communication and attention to detail. Maritime matters can involve several different legal and commercial considerations, so having lawyers who understand the specific nature of the issue is extremely important.

Overall, I had a very positive experience with Leaders Advocates. I would recommend Faris, Ekatrina, and their team to anyone looking for professional Maritime Lawyers in Dubai or legal assistance with a shipping

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I literally can NOT say enough good things about this Law Firm. I reached out to maybe 20 firms and this was the only firm to reach out with SPEED, get me the EXACT results I wanted, and went the extra mile. Whatever they quote you, PAY IT. Because they will work diligently to get the results you need.

And I'm not some fake review! They've helped me on three different occasions and I'm extremely grateful for them! I will only be using them going forward.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Faris Raian and the entire team at Leaders Advocates for their professionalism and support throughout my case.

I spent quite a long time deciding whom I could trust with this matter and spoke with several lawyers who had been recommended to me. Eventually, I was introduced to Faris Raian. His professional reputation immediately stood out, while the terms and cost of his services were also considerably more attractive compared to the other options I had considered.

As it turned out, that was only the beginning of an exceptionally positive experience.

My case was related to fraud and involved a number of complex issues that had to be resolved within a very limited timeframe. Given the circumstances, I initially had serious doubts as to whether the result I had discussed with Faris Raian could realistically be achieved.

From the very beginning, however, Faris Raian was very clear and confident about the strategy. He asked me to trust his expertise, follow his recommendations and allow his team to handle the matter according to the agreed course of action. That is exactly what I did.

In the end, the result exceeded my expectations.

Throughout the entire process, Faris Raian consistently delivered on every commitment. Each stage was completed on time, and in many cases even faster than I expected. His approach was exceptionally professional, precise and well organised. As the case progressed, any doubts I initially had disappeared completely.

At a certain point, I simply followed his advice and trusted the process, without feeling the need to interfere or take any unnecessary steps myself. In my opinion, this is exactly what working with a true professional should feel like - someone you can genuinely trust.

I am extremely pleased that I found Faris Raian and the team at Leaders Advocates and entrusted my case to them. Everything we discussed and agreed upon was ultimately delivered, and the result was even better than I had originally expected.

The entire experience left me with an exceptionally positive impression.

My sincere thanks once again to Faris Raian and the entire Leaders Advocates team for their professionalism, reliability and the result they achieved for me. I would confidently recommend Leaders Advocates to anyone looking for legal assistance from professionals they can genuinely trust.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t thank Faris Raian and Ekaterina enough for everything they did for me. When I first came to them, I had almost lost hope and honestly believed there was no way to get my rights back.

From the first meeting, they explained everything clearly, built a strong legal strategy, and supported me throughout the entire case. Thanks to their hard work, professionalism, and dedication, we won the case and I finally got my rights back.

If you’re looking for lawyers who truly care about their clients and fight for the best possible outcome, I highly recommend Faris Raian and Ekaterina. Thank you both for giving me hope again and for achieving a result I never thought was possible.

This was not just legal work - it was real support, real commitment, and real care.

At the time, she was the only one of several lawyers to take on my complicated case and gave me hope for success. The battle lasted four years. When the opponent tried to reverse the case, Mr. Faris joined in. They not only won the case but also initiated actual payments from the defendant. I thank them for their hard work. I commend their high level of legal competence and their support and care to the client.

FAQs

What is construction litigation in the UAE?

Construction litigation is a court case about a building or engineering project. It covers disputes about payment, delay, defects, contract cancellation and liability.

What does a construction litigation lawyer do?

A construction litigation lawyer studies your contract, collects proof, sends legal notices, files or answers the claim, works with experts and speaks for you in court. Construction litigation attorneys also help you reach a fair settlement when it is the better option.

Is construction litigation different from arbitration?

Yes. Litigation happens in the courts. Arbitration is a private process outside the courts. Your contract usually has a dispute clause that shows which route to follow.

Can I take a construction dispute directly to court?

Sometimes yes, but check your contract first. Some contracts require talks, mediation or arbitration before a court case. A lawyer will read the clause so you do not lose time or rights.

What can I do if my contractor refuses to fix defects?

Gather photos, reports and all messages, then send a written notice. If the contractor still does nothing, construction defect litigation can force repairs or payment. Serious structural defects may also fall under ten year liability. Speak to a lawyer early.

How long does a construction case take in Dubai?

It depends on the size of the dispute, the amount of evidence and whether experts are needed. A simple payment claim is often faster than a complex defect or delay case. After we review your papers, we give you a clear idea of the likely time.

Who is the best construction litigation law firm in Dubai?

No official body ranks one firm as the best for every client, and we will not make that claim for you. The best firm for you has a licensed lawyer, real construction case experience, clear fees, honest advice and good reviews. Leaders Advocates offers more than 20 years of experience in Dubai, recognised awards and a named lawyer on every case. Book a consultation and judge for yourself.
