A dispute that touches both sides, run by one team.
Cross-border matters often fracture across two sets of advisers — one in India, one in the UAE — with duplicated instructions and the risk of conflicting positions. Our presence in both jurisdictions means a single team runs the whole matter: aligned strategy, coordinated evidence, and enforcement pursued on both sides at once.

Coordinated enforcement
Recognition and enforcement pursued across India and the UAE in parallel, reducing cost, duplication and the risk of conflicting outcomes.
