Energy litigation

Disputes in the energy sector demand legal teams that understand both the law and the industry. At Kayrouz & Associates, we represent clients in high-stakes energy litigation with precision, strategy, and sector-specific insight.

Practice Overview

Energy litigation often involves complex contracts, regulatory scrutiny, and high financial stakes. Our team represents power producers, infrastructure developers, investors, and joint venture partners in disputes across the UAE and wider Middle East.

We act in court proceedings, arbitration forums, and before administrative bodies, handling claims involving construction delays, equipment failure, regulatory enforcement, pricing disputes, and shareholder disagreements. Our lawyers are fluent in the technical language of the sector and adept at turning complex fact patterns into persuasive legal arguments.

We combine deep knowledge of the region’s energy laws with commercial acumen and courtroom experience. We work closely with engineering experts, auditors, and financial analysts to develop evidentiary strategies that hold up under legal scrutiny. Our goal is not just to win cases—but to protect our clients' reputations, relationships, and long-term commercial interests.

We also provide strategic advice before litigation begins, helping clients assess risk and consider alternatives such as mediation or structured negotiation.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Representation in construction, contract, and infrastructure disputes
  • Regulatory enforcement defence and compliance litigation
  • Joint venture and shareholder disputes
  • Damages claims and contractual breach proceedings
  • Enforcement of arbitral awards and court judgments
  • Expert coordination and technical evidence development
