As a seasoned civil litigator, I am well-versed in the complexities of UAE compensation law and can provide expert guidance on a variety of matters.
My areas of expertise include:

Construction accidents: I can represent clients who have been injured on construction sites.

Here are some examples of compensation cases I have handled:
1-Dispute Resolution – Litigation \ Civil, Dubai
July 2019 – Feb 2021
Client: An American Indian individual and his wife.
The opposing parties include a major government telecommunications company, a large government bank, and seven individuals of various nationalities who are currently evading authorities.
Value (value of deal or disputed amount): AED 2,400,000.
Summary: Seven individuals managed to withdraw a total of AED 2.4 million from the client’s bank account through ten bank transfers in less than an hour, which occurred at night. This unauthorized activity resulted in the embezzlement of funds from the client’s account, leading them to report this criminal activity.
As a result of the criminal report, the seven individuals were subject to a final judgment.
The method of theft employed violated technical and professional standards. It involved obtaining a replacement SIM card without proper authorization from the number holder, followed by a series of successive transfers without any communication with the account holder.
This situation gave rise to a civil lawsuit, holding both the company and the bank jointly responsible for negligence and technical errors that contravened professional norms. Ultimately, a final judgment was obtained, compelling the company and the bank to cover the claim amount, the bank and the telecommunication company had to pay the full claim amount 3 hours after the enforcement order was issued, resulting that we had received double the claim amount, to avoid any dire consequences or interruption of their operating businesses. This outcome prompted the UAE Central Bank and the Ministry of Communications to issue instructions implemented across the country to avoid such issues.
