Multi-Jurisdiction Expertise

Dubai Courts
Civil law jurisdiction with Arabic as the official language. All submissions require Arabic documentation. Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, and Court of Cassation.
DIFC Courts
Common law jurisdiction with English as the primary language. Serves the Dubai International Financial Centre with specialized commercial and civil procedures.
ADGM Courts
Abu Dhabi's common law jurisdiction operating in English. Similar to DIFC with specialized commercial dispute resolution.
Federal Courts
Federal Supreme Court and federal judicial bodies operating under UAE civil law. Arabic documentation required for all proceedings.
Foreign Judgment & Award Enforcement
Enforcing foreign court judgments and arbitration awards in the UAE requires presenting these documents to UAE courts in Arabic. The translation becomes the document that judges read and rely upon when deciding enforcement.
For judgments, courts assess whether the foreign court had jurisdiction, whether due process was followed, and whether enforcement would violate UAE public policy. The translation must clearly present procedural history and the operative ruling.
For arbitration awards, the New York Convention provides the framework. The translation must include the arbitration agreement, the award itself, and any supporting procedural orders that demonstrate proper arbitral process.
Key Enforcement Requirements
- Authenticated original judgment or award
- MOJ-certified Arabic translation
- Proof of proper service on defendant
- Evidence that judgment is final and enforceable
