Effective Conflict Prevention and Management tactics can prevent or resolve most confrontations amicably. Unfortunately, certain conflicts develop into a full-fledged disputes, mainly owing to a lack of trust or hostility on the part of one of the parties to a contract. In such circumstances, we represent our clients effectively and robustly in arbitration and DIFC and ADGM Court Litigation.
Our consultants have represented clients in ad hoc and institutional arbitrations under the rules of arbitral institutions such as the ICC, DIAC, DIFC-LCIA, LCIA, ADCCAC, HKIAC, SIAC, QICCA, and LMAA Terms.
Our consultants have represented clients from large state-owned entities in the Middle East to small contractors in arbitrations, projects and deals ranging from $2 million to $25 billion. With strong expertise in arbitration, we have acted as Counsel for businesses in construction, energy, technology, media and telecommunication (TMT), and the insurance and healthcare sectors in the Middle East, the UK and Africa. We have expertise intervening in conflicts under English, UAE, DIFC, Saudi Arabian, Qatari, French, US, and Mauritian law, and are experienced with both the common law and civil law systems.
We may collaborate with you based on a variety of models, including:
- As Lead Counsel managing and representing you in an arbitration
- As External Counsel, by collaborating with your internal team of legal and technical experts
- to represent you an arbitration
- As your External In-House Legal Counsel to manage your external legal team representing you in an arbitration; and
- As co-counsel to add capacity to your existing legal team.
At Niyom Legal, we prefer to work collaboratively with both legal and technical personnel who were involved in the project or deal throughout the case to ensure that your legal matter is tested and strengthened from all angles and that a compelling case is built from the outset. Because arbitration and litigation can involve high costs, extensive time investment and increased stress levels for our clients, we usually begin with an in-depth analysis of a dispute to enable our client to make an informed decision on whether it is worth bringing a case and lay out a solid strategy before initiating arbitration.
We also represent clients in the enforcement or annulment of an arbitral award in front of the DIFC, ADGM, English, and Mauritian Courts, as well as manage such actions in Courts around the world, thanks to our vast network of advocates including in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
