Enforcement Proceedings
We understand that
obtaining a favorable judgment from the UAE Courts is, most times, much easier
as compared to actually recovering the judgment debt through execution files
before UAE Courts. In this regard, we work closely with trusted advocates and
enforcement agents to manage enforcement proceedings, ensuring compliance with
all procedural requirements and addressing potential challenges proactively
with the aim of successful recovery. Where clients find themselves in
situations where they cannot recover their dues despite judgments / awards in
their favor, owing to their judgment debtors and their respective assets being
based in India, our team assists clients in navigating the Indian legal
framework for recognition and execution of foreign judgments and awards, and
working closely with trusted Indian counsel to initiate and manage enforcement
proceedings.
Whether you are pursuing arbitration in the UAE
or seeking to expedite enforcement of a UAE judgment or seeking to enforce a
UAE decision in India, Lex & Co. offers the knowledge, experience, and
cross-border coordination to deliver results effectively and efficiently. In general, we strive to understand the particular
needs and circumstances of each client and provide solutions and options
tailored to these specific needs.
At Lex & Co., we recognize that strong,
well-drafted commercial agreements are essential to the success and stability
of any business. We collaborate closely with our clients—often integrating
seamlessly with in-house teams—to ensure all contracts and commercial
frameworks are practical, enforceable, and aligned with business goals. Our
experience spans both public and private sectors, supporting clients locally
and internationally.
We have particular expertise in outsourcing
arrangements, addressing critical concerns such as service levels,
confidentiality, data security, and dispute resolution. Our team advises at all
stages of the outsourcing lifecycle. We also offer corporate secretarial,
company administration, and general corporate compliance services.
Expanding into the GCC through agents,
distributors, or franchise models presents significant opportunity—but also
complex legal considerations. At Lex & Co., we provide comprehensive
support for businesses entering, managing, or exiting third-party commercial
relationships.

Agency Law, offering services that include the drafting and review of agency,
franchise, and distribution agreements, and restructuring of distribution
networks. We routinely advise on contentious agency terminations and have
successfully represented clients in the registration and deregistration of
agency agreements with the Ministry of Economy.
