Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are settlement agreements enforceable in the UAE?

Yes. A properly drafted settlement agreement is legally binding and fully enforceable before UAE courts. When structured according to UAE Civil Transactions Law and procedural rules, the agreement carries the same enforceability as a court judgment, provided it is clear, lawful, and signed by both parties.

How long does the negotiation process take?

Most settlement negotiations can be completed within days or weeks, depending on the complexity of the dispute and the willingness of both parties to cooperate. This is significantly faster than litigation, which may take several months or even years to conclude.

Do I still need a lawyer for settlement?

Absolutely. A lawyer ensures that your rights are protected, the terms are legally sound, and the agreement is enforceable under UAE law. Without legal oversight, you risk agreeing to unclear or unenforceable terms that could lead to future disputes.

What if the other party refuses to negotiate?

If the other party is unwilling to negotiate, we use strategic legal communication — including notices, evidence positioning, and formal legal steps — to encourage engagement. If settlement remains impossible, litigation may become necessary, and we prepare your case accordingly.

Is settlement legally safer than litigation?

In many cases, yes. Settlement reduces legal risk by giving both parties control over the outcome, avoiding unpredictable judgments, limiting legal costs, and preserving privacy. When drafted correctly, a settlement agreement prevents future disputes and offers a stable, long-term solution.
