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 financial risk in UAE real estate: developers, property owners, landlords, investors, funds, and high-net-worth buyers.

Whether you are developing, acquiring, leasing, or exiting an asset, we focus on protecting your position when projects are delayed, payments are disputed, regulatory issues arise, or counterparties default.

We advise developers on project structuring, sales documentation, contractor exposure, and disputes that threaten delivery timelines and revenues.

Developers and master developers

We act for owners and landlords in tenancy disputes, rent recovery, eviction matters, and enforcement steps to protect cash flow and asset value.

Property owners and landlords

We support investors and funds on acquisitions, disposals, and portfolio risk, including dispute strategy and recovery in distressed situations.

Investors and real estate funds

We represent UHNW buyers and family offices on high-value transactions, off-plan exposure, and disputes where speed and leverage determine outcomes.

High-net-worth individuals and family offices

We advise asset managers and operators on lease exposure, service provider disputes, and operational issues linked to community and strata obligations.

Asset managers and property operators

We act for lenders on secured recovery, enforcement, and disputes involving default, injunctions, and asset freezing to preserve value.

Lenders and secured creditors

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.
