Collective actions

Kayrouz & Associates represents claimants and defendants in complex collective actions across a wide spectrum of commercial, consumer, and regulatory matters. We offer strategic clarity and experienced advocacy in cases involving multiple parties and high-volume claims.

Practice Overview

Collective actions—whether class actions, group claims, or mass tort litigation—are increasingly used to address disputes involving numerous claimants with shared legal interests. At Kayrouz & Associates, we act for both corporate defendants and groups of plaintiffs in coordinated proceedings across the UAE and wider region.

We handle collective claims arising from commercial misconduct, consumer rights violations, professional negligence, and contractual breaches. Our firm is equipped to manage large volumes of evidence, streamline communications among stakeholders, and develop common legal strategies that meet judicial scrutiny.

Our lawyers understand the procedural nuances of group litigation, including standing, representative actions, and settlement frameworks. We also provide advisory services to companies facing potential exposure to collective claims, helping them assess risk and implement preventive measures.

We collaborate with international counsel in cross-border claims and offer sophisticated support in multi-jurisdictional proceedings where parallel actions may arise.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Representing corporate clients in consumer and product liability claims
  • Acting for claimants in large-scale financial mis-selling or fraud cases
  • Coordinating strategy in multi-party commercial disputes
  • Advising on regulatory exposure to class action-style litigation
  • Managing communication with claimants and third-party funders
  • Structuring settlement frameworks and judicial approvals
