Legal Services in the Real Estate Sector in Dubai, UAE

Real Estate Lawyer in Dubai

Our team of expert real estate lawyers in the UAE has an extensive understanding of the real estate industry and has advised Developers, individual Buyers/Sellers, Owners Association Management Companies, Property Management Companies, and Real Estate Brokerage Firms.

We have successfully assisted our clients in pursuing claims for compensation on various grounds, including the termination of Sale and Purchase Agreements for primary and secondary transactions, as well as delays in handover past the anticipated completion date, breach of contractually agreed terms, and/or failure to fulfill the obligations of the parties (whether by the Developer/Seller/Buyer); deviation/reduction in unit size, and the cancellation of Real Estate Projects.

Our real estate lawyers are experts in real estate law and are well-equipped to conduct extensive due diligence on high-value properties and to assist with subsequent property acquisitions in accordance with regulatory norms and procedures. More generally, we undertake common contentious property matters, including ownership and property management disputes; and non-contentious matters such as conveyancing and contract review (Sale and Purchase Agreements/Long Term Lease Agreements and Musataha Agreements).

The real estate sector is one of the most dynamic and constantly evolving sectors in the UAE and has contributed significantly to the country's economic growth.
