What Are Commercial Litigation Disputes?
Commercial Litigation Disputes arise when businesses or individuals fail to fulfill their contractual obligations, leading to conflicts over unpaid amounts, undelivered services or products, and breaches of agreement. Such disputes are often between:
Companies vs. Companies
Where one party fails to perform or pay as agreed.
Individuals vs. Businesses
Where consumers or other individuals seek compensation for a business's failure to deliver products or services.
Corporations & Government Entities
Involving matters such as unpaid debts, breach of commercial agreements, or other contractual failures.
In the UAE, before resorting to the courts, parties may also seek assistance from authorities such as the Consumer Protection Department or the Department of Economic Development. These authorities can act as intermediaries to help resolve disputes amicably, though their influence may be limited when it comes to enforcing obligations.
At FAKHER & CO, we specialize in Commercial Litigation and provide tailored solutions to help resolve disputes efficiently and cost-effectively. Our team of expert commercial litigation lawyers works to settle your case quickly, whether through amicable negotiation, administrative complaint filings, or court proceedings.Â
How Can Commercial Litigation Disputes Be Resolved Efficiently?
Efficient resolution of commercial disputes requires timely legal intervention and strategic planning. At FAKHER & CO, we use the following steps to resolve disputes as effectively as possible:
Assessing the Issue
Identifying whether the dispute can be resolved through alternative methods, such as negotiation or intervention by regulatory bodies, or if court proceedings are necessary.
Filing Complaints
For issues involving consumer rights or contractual breaches, we assist clients in filing complaints with relevant authorities, aiming to settle the matter without going to court.
Legal Warnings
We issue formal legal warnings to the other party to encourage settlement before pursuing more formal litigation.
Precautionary Measures
In urgent cases, we may take steps such as placing a precautionary attachment on assets or funds to ensure compliance with contractual obligations.
Court Litigation
When settlement fails, we represent clients in commercial litigation through the UAE courts, asserting your rights and ensuring a fair judgment.
Types of Commercial Claims We Handle
Commercial disputes come in many forms. Our legal experts handle various types of commercial litigation claims, including, but not limited to:Â
Financial Claims for Products and Services
When a company fails to pay for products or services provided, we help clients pursue financial claims. This may include placing a precautionary attachment on goods already delivered to force the opposing party to settle their debt.
Delivery Claims
In cases where a client has paid for goods or services that have not been delivered, we take swift action to claim what is owed. This may include requests for delivery, contract termination, refunds, or compensation for non-fulfillment.
Compensation Claims for Breach and Damages
When one party breaches the contract, causing harm or damages, we initiate compensation claims. This can include claims for lost profits, damages to reputation, or other harm caused by the breach. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure fair compensation.
Commission Claims
For claims related to commissions for mediation or other services, our litigation team ensures that the involved parties fulfill their financial obligations. Courts may investigate the validity of transactions, and our lawyers assist in recovering commission payments.
