Banking And Financial Disputes
Challenging banks and financial institutions in the UAE. Fakher & Co handles loan disputes, frozen accounts, cheque cases, mortgage conflicts, and regulatory complaints.
Protecting Your Financial Interests in Banking Disputes
Disputes with banks and financial institutions can have severe consequences, from frozen assets and damaged credit ratings to significant financial losses. The complexity of financial agreements and the vast resources of these institutions can make individuals and businesses feel powerless. To protect your rights, you need a legal team with specialized knowledge of the banking sector and the skill to challenge these institutions effectively.
Fakher & Co represents clients in a wide range of banking and financial disputes. We have a deep understanding of the regulations governing the financial industry in the UAE, and we are committed to holding banks accountable and protecting our clients from unfair or unlawful practices.
Our Approach to Banking & Financial Disputes
We provide strategic and assertive representation designed to level the playing field between our clients and large financial institutions.
- Meticulous Document Review: We begin by conducting an exhaustive review of all relevant financial agreements, including loan documents, credit facility agreements, and mortgage contracts, to identify breaches, unfair terms, or regulatory violations.
- Negotiation from a Position of Strength: We often initiate a robust negotiation with the bank’s legal department, presenting a clear, evidence-based case to seek a favorable settlement without resorting to immediate litigation.
- Aggressive Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our experienced litigators are prepared to take the matter to court. We have a strong track record of successfully challenging banks on behalf of our clients.
Types of Banking & Financial Disputes We Handle
Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of conflicts with financial institutions, including:
1. Loan and Credit Facility Disputes We represent both borrowers and guarantors in disputes over loan defaults, interest rate calculations, undisclosed fees, and the unlawful calling of securities or guarantees.
2. Mortgage and Real Estate Financing Disputes We assist clients in conflicts related to mortgage agreements, including disputes over payment defaults, foreclosure proceedings, and the terms of the mortgage.
3. Cheque Bounce Cases While decriminalized in many instances, bounced cheques can still lead to significant civil claims and travel bans. We provide strategic defense in these cases and negotiate manageable settlement plans.
4. Frozen Bank Accounts We help clients challenge and lift precautionary attachments or freezing orders that have been unlawfully placed on their personal or corporate bank accounts.
5. Disputes over Financial Instruments We handle complex disputes related to letters of credit (LCs), letters of guarantee (LGs), and other financial instruments where a bank has failed to honor its obligations.
6. Regulatory Complaints We assist clients in filing official complaints with the Central Bank of the UAE and other regulatory bodies to address misconduct by financial institutions.
