Services · UAE Mediation
Mediation for disputes connected to Dubai & the UAE.
I offer civil and commercial mediation for parties with disputes connected to Dubai and the wider UAE. Mediation provides a confidential, efficient alternative to litigation, enabling parties to retain control over outcome while working with an independent neutral.
Mediation in the UAE is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 40 of 2023 on Mediation and Conciliation in Civil and Commercial Disputes, which sets out the framework for court-referred and private mediation. My practice is particularly well suited to civil and commercial disputes with a UAE and international element, including those falling within or opting into the DIFC and ADGM courts.
I am listed as a mediator with The Mediation Hub in Dubai and am a member of the ADGM mediation panel. I regularly work with local and international counsel, in-house teams and insurers, and mediations can be conducted in person in Dubai or online to accommodate parties in different jurisdictions.
Types of UAE disputes mediated

Mediation costs
Costs for UAE matters are agreed individually, reflecting the nature of the dispute, whether it is private or connected to an institution such as the DIFC, ADGM, or a Dubai mediation centre, the number of parties, and the format (in person or online). Rather than a fixed published rate, you'll receive a tailored quote once the circumstances of your dispute are understood.
