Financial Claims

Unpaid invoices, withheld contract payments and disputed balances rarely resolve on their own. When a claim moves toward a court or an enforcement authority, its outcome turns on whether the amount owed can be shown clearly, completely, and in a form the tribunal accepts. That is the work of this service.

As financial experts within our Court Expert practice, we build the financial case behind a monetary claim. We work alongside your legal counsel, who handle the proceedings, and we supply the figures, the documents and the expert opinion that support them.

What this typically involves

• Review of the contracts, invoices, statements of account, delivery records and correspondence that establish the debt
• Reconstruction and reconciliation of the account between the parties: what was invoiced, paid, credited, and what remains outstanding
• Quantification of the principal, contractual interest, late payment charges and any consequential losses that can be substantiated
• Preparation of an independent expert report in the form used by UAE courts, with a clear trail to every figure
• Responding to the opposing party's financial submissions and to questions raised by the court-appointed expert
• Support during enforcement, including tracing assets and verifying settlement calculations

Who this is for

Businesses and individuals pursuing civil or commercial monetary claims in the UAE, and their legal advisers. It is equally relevant when defending a claim: an independent assessment often shows that the amount demanded is overstated.

Why it matters

• A claim supported by a properly reconciled account and a credible expert report settles faster, and more often without a full hearing
• Gaps in the documentation are found and addressed before the other side finds them
• Interest and charges are calculated correctly under the contract and UAE law, so the claim is neither undervalued nor open to challenge
• Your counsel receives one organised financial file rather than a folder of loose documents

Every engagement starts with a review of the documents you hold, and a written scope and fee before any work begins.
