ADGM Arbitration Lawyers

Arbitration seated in ADGM — run for an award that enforces.

Handle’s ADGM arbitration lawyers act for corporates, investors and financial institutions in arbitrations seated in ADGM — under ICC, LCIA, DIAC, UNCITRAL and other rules — with the ADGM Courts’ supervisory role, interim relief and award enforcement planned from the outset.

When this is needed

ADGM Arbitration Lawyers: where the mandate begins.

An arbitration clause must be drafted so that the ADGM seat, the rules and the enforcement route work together.
A shareholder or commercial dispute has crystallised under a contract seated in ADGM, and the claim or defence must be built.
Emergency or interim measures are needed to protect assets before the tribunal decides.
An award has been issued, and it must be recognised, enforced — or challenged — through the ADGM Courts.

Matters Handle leads

ADGM-seated arbitration mandates.

Four mandate types. One award, built to enforce.

Arbitration Case Assessment

Evidence, claims and jurisdiction reviewed before the case is filed.

Arbitration Pleadings

Claims and defences drafted to ADGM and international standards.

Hearing Preparation

Witnesses, experts, evidence and procedural strategy organised.

Award Enforcement

Awards recognised and executed through the ADGM Courts and abroad.

The scope

ADGM Arbitration Lawyers — scope, made explicit.

A focused, premium mandate — with the tribunal, the record and the enforceable award at the center.

Seat & Rules Selection

ADGM seat and rules chosen for neutrality and enforcement.

Case Theory & Pleadings

Statements of case built around a clear, provable position.

Interim Protection

Emergency relief and freezing orders sought where assets are at risk.

Hearing Advocacy

Hearings run with preparation and a record the tribunal can rely on.

Recognition & Enforcement

Awards enforced through the ADGM Courts and under the New York Convention.

The mandate

Arbitration with a common law seat.

The seat decides which court supervises the arbitration and how the award will travel. Handle’s ADGM arbitration lawyers build each case around the ADGM seat — clause, procedure and record designed for an award that holds.

Where the tribunal needs support or the award needs execution, the same team takes the matter to the ADGM Courts and on to the jurisdictions where the counterparty’s assets sit.
