Request an Initial Review How Handle Works

When this is needed

Al Ghadeer Construction Disputes in the UAE: where the mandate begins.

Parties or assets sit in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and the forum and enforcement route must be chosen deliberately.
Payment has stalled through a layered contracting chain, and recovery must reach the right party.
Phases of the community carry distinct entitlement issues, and claims need to be separated or combined.
Approvals from more than one authority affect the programme, and delay responsibility is disputed.

The mandate

Two emirates. One controlled claim.
