Shipping, aviation and transport disputes in the UAE

What we cover in the UAE

The UAE is a global transport hub. We advise owners, operators, charterers, cargo interests, logistics providers and aviation businesses on contracts, regulatory exposure, casualties, claims and dispute-resolution clauses across maritime, air and land transport.

• Charterparties and bills of lading

  We review carriage terms, delivery obligations, freight, laytime and dispute clauses to explain responsibility and prepare amendments, notices or a cargo-related claim.

• Cargo loss and damage

  We trace custody, delivery condition, survey findings and claim notices to assess responsibility for cargo loss or damage and prepare the demand or defence.

• Ship arrest and maritime security

  We examine the maritime claim, vessel connection, ownership and urgency to assess a security request and prepare the supporting file for licensed local counsel.

• Aviation contracts and claims

  We review the carriage or service agreement, incident records, liability terms and notices to assess the aviation dispute and prepare the agreed claim, response or contract revision.

• Freight, logistics and warehousing

  We map the roles of carrier, forwarder and warehouse operator against custody and delivery records, then draft responsibility clauses or a response to loss, delay or charges.

• Insurance and cross-border disputes

  We compare transport and insurance contracts, loss evidence and forum clauses across the countries involved to prepare a coordinated recovery or defence assessment.
