encompasses a wide range of legal matters related to property ownership, transactions, and disputes. As a seasoned real estate attorney, I am well-versed in the complexities of UAE real estate law and can provide expert guidance on a variety of matters.
My areas of expertise include:

Construction law: I can assist with matters related to construction contracts, construction defects, and construction disputes.
Property development: I can advise developers on matters related to land acquisition, zoning, and permitting.
Here are some examples of real estate law cases I have handled:
1- Dispute Resolution – Litigation \ Real Estate, and this marks my second judicial precedent, Dubai
Mar 2019 – Oct 2022
Client: The client is a major company under a government entity in Kuwait.
The opposing party was a prominent member of a local influential family.
Value (value of deal or disputed amount): AED 120,000,000
Summary: The large company was supposed to carry out real estate development for the benefit of this individual. The deal involved an upfront payment of AED 30 million and a deferred payment of AED 90 million, totaling AED 120 million. The legal challenge arose when the Court of First Instance issued a ruling, but the Court of Appeal altered the decision, arguing that completed buildings must be registered.
In response, we filed an appeal, contesting this appellate ruling because it failed to distinguish between completed buildings and subdivided real estate units. The Dubai Court of Cassation was hesitant to make a ruling on this matter, so they forwarded the entire case to the General Authority of the Dubai Court of Cassation.
This case sets a new precedent concerning the mandatory registration of real estate units, both completed and subdivided.
It set the precedent for the mandatory registration of both completed and incomplete real estate units, whether they are divided or undivided.
