Summary Of The Case Studies
A Sharjah-based construction company approached Atlal Recovery Services after a partnership dispute with a foreign investor escalated over unpaid project profits totaling AED 1.8 million. The investor, based in Oman, had refused to release the profit share despite signed partnership terms and audited project completion certificates. The client wanted an immediate resolution without lengthy litigation that could delay ongoing projects.
Atlal’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) experts took the lead by designing a settlement strategy that balanced legal strength with diplomatic dialogue. Through mediation and structured negotiation sessions, Atlal successfully restored cooperation between both parties and achieved a mutual financial settlement recognized under UAE commercial law.
The Problems Being Encountered of the Case
The challenge in this case was the growing hostility between the partners. The Omani investor had withdrawn from joint accounts and threatened to initiate counter legal action to delay payment. Additionally, both sides had conflicting interpretations of the partnership clauses, and there were no recent written amendments reflecting updated profit percentages. The situation risked damaging both parties’ market reputation and client relationships.
- Breakdown of communication and rising legal hostility between partners.
- No updated written contract reflecting new profit-sharing ratios.
- Risk of public dispute affecting ongoing business credibility.
Our Approach And Solution
Atlal adopted a strategic mediation approach backed by deep understanding of UAE’s commercial arbitration framework. Instead of rushing to court, our team facilitated confidential meetings with both parties and their legal representatives. We ensured that all discussions remained protected under the UAE Federal Arbitration Law (No. 6 of 2018). Through objective financial auditing and transparent negotiation, we built trust and brought both parties to a fair, enforceable agreement.

Our Working Process and Solution
Atlal’s dispute resolution team followed a structured and neutral framework designed to protect both business relationships and financial interests.
1. Planning The Case
We reviewed all partnership agreements, profit statements, and previous amendments to establish a clear legal position. Our legal experts also prepared a risk analysis outlining possible outcomes under litigation versus mediation.
2. Evaluate Situation
Our mediators conducted separate confidential interviews with both parties to understand underlying concerns, identify miscommunication gaps, and assess each party’s expectations for resolution.
3. File The Case To The Court
Although the goal was to avoid litigation, Atlal filed a precautionary notice with the Sharjah Commercial Court to secure the client’s claim rights in case mediation failed. This proactive legal step ensured full protection under UAE law.
Conducted financial audit and independent profit verification to determine the exact outstanding amount.
Organized joint mediation sessions in a neutral environment, leading to constructive discussions and resolution.
Drafted a legally binding settlement agreement under the supervision of the UAE Ministry of Justice to finalize payment terms.
The Outcome of the Lawsuit
Within 40 days, the dispute was resolved amicably. The investor paid AED 1.6 million to the client under a structured two-installment plan, avoiding months of litigation. Both parties resumed cooperation on new projects, proving the success of Atlal’s diplomatic yet legally solid approach to dispute resolution.
