Legal support that keeps operations moving

Kayrouz & Associates advises and represents businesses and individuals across the UAE. A 25+ lawyer team, trusted in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Beirut, with over 570+ complex legal matters handled. When a deal tightens, a dispute escalates, or a decision cannot be reversed, we move fast, think clearly, and protect your position.

Who we work with

We act for the parties who carry real risk on UAE construction and infrastructure projects: developers, main contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and lenders.

Whether you are delivering the works, funding them, or supervising them, we focus on protecting your position when contracts, timelines, or payments come under pressure.

Project delays mounting? Contractor underperforming? We help you enforce programme obligations, manage terminations, and recover losses without derailing the project.

Developers and employers

Facing LD claims or chasing payment from an employer? We protect your margin, pursue what you are owed, and defend against unfair deductions.

Main contractors

Stuck at the end of the payment chain? Hit with back-charges? We pursue your entitlements and manage your exposure under back-to-back contracts.

Subcontractors and suppliers

Facing a professional negligence claim or scope dispute? We defend your position and manage your PI exposure when projects go wrong.

Engineering and design consultants

When disputes arise, your decisions get scrutinised. We help you manage supervisory liability and respond to claims challenging your certifications.

Project managers

When projects stall, your security is at risk. We advise on step-in rights, contractor replacement, and protecting your position when developments hit trouble.

Investors and lenders

How we support your team day to day

We help with day to day legal decisions, keep contracts and correspondence under control, and step in early so issues do not become disputes. When escalation is unavoidable, we handle negotiations, arbitration, or court proceedings with continuity.
