Administrative decisions and appeals in the UAE

What we cover in the UAE

We assist businesses and individuals when a UAE ministry, authority, municipality, free-zone body or sector regulator makes a decision affecting a licence, approval, penalty, tender or public contract. The correct review route and deadline depend on the authority and legal basis involved.

• Licence refusal, suspension or cancellation

  We compare the application and licence conditions with the authority’s reasons, identify missing evidence and prepare a correction request, objection or challenge assessment.

• Administrative penalties

  We review the decision, inspection record, notification date and supporting evidence to identify disputed findings and prepare a reasoned objection with its attachments.

• Government and public contracts

  We review contractual authority, variations, payment certificates and completion records to assess payment, delay or termination disputes and draft the claim or response.

• Tender and procurement disputes

  We compare tender conditions, submissions, scoring and correspondence to identify the alleged procedural or evaluation error and prepare the objection file.

• Regulatory investigations

  We review the authority’s request, relevant records and internal responsibilities to prepare a consistent response, identify missing evidence and coordinate any representation through licensed partners.

• Judicial review and compensation strategy

  We examine the decision, prior objections, dates and evidence of loss to assess the proposed court challenge and prepare the legal grounds and requested remedy.
