My experience includes handling bounced cheques, tenant evictions, rent disputes, settlements, joint ventures, SPAs, and construction contracts. I’ve worked closely with senior management to provide clear, strategic legal guidance, resolve disputes efficiently, and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. In this capacity, I combined technical legal expertise with practical problem-solving, while fostering effective collaboration with internal teams, external counsel, and government authorities to deliver well-structured, lasting outcomes. Based in the UAE, I provide legal guidance and consultancy to both landlords and tenants navigating complex property-related matters across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other Emirates. My advisory practice focuses on: Complex Litigation (Real Estate, Corporate, etc.) Rental disputes & non-payment issues Bounced cheque advisory Eviction notices & settlement strategies Contract drafting, lease reviews & risk assessment Debt recovery guidance & enforcement planning With a deep understanding of UAE laws, real estate regulations, and the civil procedures for recovery and claims, I help clients make informed legal decisions and prepare for litigation when needed, while coordinating with licensed local advocates as required.
