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 commercial and regulatory risk in technology: founders and boards, high-growth scaleups, enterprise buyers, cloud and platform providers, and investors backing technology and AI.

Whether you are shipping products at speed, integrating into enterprise environments, or scaling across the UAE, we focus on protecting your contracts, your data, and your commercial position when disputes, security incidents, or regulatory scrutiny start to threaten growth.

We advise product-led businesses on commercial contracts, procurement pressure, and disputes that can stall growth or damage enterprise relationships.

Technology companies and scaleups

We support AI businesses on deployment risk, governance, customer terms, and liability allocation where model outputs create commercial exposure.

AI product and platform providers

We act for enterprises procuring SaaS and technology, protecting procurement positions, delivery expectations, and remedies when performance fails.

Enterprise buyers and in-house legal teams

We advise cloud and platform providers on subscription terms, service levels, change control, and enforcement of payment and usage obligations.

Cloud, SaaS, and platform businesses

We support investors and founders on governance, shareholder alignment, exits, and dispute strategy when relationships or valuation discussions break down.

Investors and founders

We advise technology businesses operating in regulated environments on compliance exposure and regulator-facing strategy when issues arise.

Fintech and regulated tech businesses

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.
