Real Estate & Development
Acquisitions, development, sales and disputes across residential, commercial and mixed-use assets.
Overview
The UAE property market moves quickly, and the rules around it move with it. Registration requirements, escrow protection and the standard forms used by the Dubai Land Department decide what a buyer, seller or developer can actually enforce once a transaction goes wrong.
We act for developers, investors, landlords and purchasers across the life of an asset — from acquisition and off-plan structuring through leasing, and into recovery and dispute resolution where it comes to that.
How we help
- Acquisitions and disposals Sale and purchase contracts, title verification, escrow compliance and registration of the transaction.
- Off-plan investment Review before signature, developer due diligence, and remedies when handover slips or specifications change.
- Development and construction The contract chain behind a project, from main contract through subcontracts and consultant appointments.
- Leasing and tenancy Lease drafting, renewal and rent review, and eviction where a statutory ground applies.
- Disputes and recovery Deposit cheque recovery, regulatory complaints, and proceedings before the courts and tribunals.
