Foreign arbitral award enforcement in the UAE

How we help with foreign arbitral award enforcement

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers certified award and agreement, translations, service and status records, challenge papers and debtor asset information. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• What documents does the New York Convention require for enforcement?

  Where the Convention applies, Article IV calls for the authenticated award or certified copy, the original arbitration agreement or certified copy, and a certified translation when required. Article V permits specified refusal grounds; Article VI addresses an application to set aside or suspend the award. Identify the UAE enforcement court and asset location separately because local filing procedure remains necessary. Identify the debtor and assets in the destination, the award's seat and status, and the arbitration agreement. Record any set-aside or suspension proceeding. Recognition requirements and available objections must be checked in the destination; the foreign award is not a local execution order by itself.
