Contracts: Drafting, Review & Negotiation

Most commercial activity requires contracts or agreements that act as a safeguard for both parties. It is always better to negotiate the terms of an agreement in advance and to prepare a written contract with suppliers, clients, consultants or government bodies — yet the specific terms and conditions of that agreement are often overlooked.

For this reason Hassan Al Ali Advocates & Legal Consultancy has adopted a proactive approach, encouraging our clients to schedule a session to review a contract before signing. Our task is to ensure the client understands every word written in the contract.

Our experienced lawyers combine knowledge with litigation experience, advising clients on every aspect of reviewing, preparing and drafting contracts. We also help clients amend, enforce, or exit contracts.

Our legal team has substantial experience advising clients whatever their standing and whatever sector they operate in, locally or internationally, helping them prepare, structure and negotiate contracts across sectors including real estate, hotels, entertainment, retail, construction, and oil and gas.

We advise our clients on joint ventures, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, corporate structuring and restructuring, distribution agencies, franchises, commercial agencies, service agreements, consultancy, commercial real estate, property finance, and construction documentation.

Our experienced contract lawyers advise on procurement-related issues and act on them before international, federal and local bodies, and assist clients with transactions involving public and private organisations dealing with public entities.

We represent our clients successfully and protect their rights before the UAE and international courts, and we make them aware of all their contractual rights throughout a transaction, so that their interests are served at all times.
