Our Middle East regional office has developed a “market-leading reputation” for dispute resolution. We handle disputes in the Middle East, Gulf States, Indian subcontinent and beyond and are “first choice” for multi-jurisdictional matters. Our regional commercial arbitration practice is equally strong.
We pride ourselves on resolving disputes where possible without recourse to court or arbitration and continue to look for opportunities to settle even when proceedings have been commenced. When litigation or arbitration is necessary, we can conduct proceedings both locally and internationally drawing in the expertise of Clyde & Co’s global network of offices.
The team handles the full range of commercial disputes including:
- Agency/distributorship
- Banking
- Commercial contract disputes
- Commercial debt
- Corporate/shareholder disputes
- Employment
- Franchising
Our industry knowledge and experience in core areas such as shipping and transport, aviation, international trade and commodities, oil and gas, energy and insurance is “unparalleled in the Middle East”. Telecoms disputes are also a growing source of work.
Examples of recent work include ongoing involvement in litigation surrounding damage sustained to gas pipelines as a result of dredging activities for the creation of The Palm Jumeirah islands. We have been acting for the Yemeni Government in a multi-billion dollar arbitration arising from the expiry of a licence.
