A Dubai litigation firm built around serious disputes
AK Litigation & Criminal Law Firm has over 25 years of legal experience in commercial litigation, breach of contract claims, construction and real estate disputes, and criminal defence.
What we do and who we act for
We represent businesses, investors, contractors, developers, shareholders and individuals in Dubai and across the UAE. Our work is disputes: money owed, contracts broken, projects stalled, property in question, and allegations that threaten someone's reputation or liberty.
Our office is in Business Bay, Dubai. We handle matters from the first legal notice through to enforcement, and we appear for clients before the relevant UAE courts.
How we think about a case
An accusation is not a conviction, and a claim is not a judgment. Before we recommend a step, we want to know the facts, the documents and what the client actually needs: money back, a contract enforced, an exit, or a defence. Then we tell you plainly what is strong, what is weak, and what it will cost in time and effort.
We do not promise results. No honest lawyer can. What we promise is careful preparation, clear explanations and prompt follow-up.
The stages we handle
- Initial consultation and dispute assessment
- Review of contracts, supporting documents and evidence
- Legal notices and formal demands
- Negotiation and settlement discussions
- Preparation and filing of legal claims
- Court litigation and representation
- Expert evidence and technical assessments
- Appeals, where applicable
- Judgment enforcement and financial recovery
- Final resolution and guidance on next steps
Confidentiality and discretion
Commercial disputes and criminal allegations involve sensitive information. We handle documents and instructions in confidence and share them only as needed to act for you.
Where we sit alongside the firm's criminal practice
This practice concentrates on commercial, construction, real estate and selected criminal matters: cybercrime, defamation, blackmail, threats and serious violent offences. General criminal procedure and other offence categories are handled through the firm's separate criminal law practice.
