Al Naqbi and Partners also understands and appreciates the fact that litigation is often business critical from a civil and commercial standpoint and particularly challenging in case of criminal matters.

The firm partners with each of its clients, understanding their concerns and addressing every issue and question, so that they are completely aware of the process throughout.

Today, commercial activity is at its peak and an overwhelming amount of goods and services are traded on a daily basis. At times, conflicts and disputes arise. Traders are faced with these key issues: pre-contractual liability during negotiations, understanding the applicable law for cross-border transactions, enforcement of informal representations, determining the competent jurisdiction for dispute resolution, and ensuring conformity of goods and services to the agreed specifications and payment schedules.

We understand how important it is for clients to receive clear and reliable advice so they can focus on running their businesses. Commercial disputes can be expensive when pursuing or defending a claim, both in terms of cost and time. But with our expertise, clients can mitigate cost, save time and diminish stress.
