When this is needed

ADGM Courts Lawyers: where the mandate begins.

A claim is about to be issued, and the letter before action, particulars and forum position must be settled first.
A claim has been served, and the defence, counterclaim or jurisdiction challenge must be filed on time.
A case is moving to trial, and witnesses, experts and evidence must be prepared for the hearing.
A judgment has been handed down, and an appeal or execution step must follow.
