UAE Mainland Litigation

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) legal system is divided into two main categories: the mainland, also known as "onshore," and the free zones, known as "offshore." The UAE mainland follows the civil law system, and its court proceedings are conducted in Arabic. Therefore, it is crucial to engage legal professionals who are proficient in Arabic and familiar with the UAE legal system. , With efficient Emirati partners, Philip Jones Legal brings you comprehensive solutions for all your litigation needs across the Dubai courts, Abu Dhabi courts, Sharjah courts, and the Federal courts of other Emirates.
