Led by Alim Khamis, our dispute resolution team at Gateley Middle East acts for clients across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia across a spectrum of contentious matters. Key sectors include construction and infrastructure, real estate, financial services, energy, oil and gas and cross-border disputes.
Our team consists of practitioners experienced in litigation and alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation and expert determination. Working closely with our tax specialists, we also advise clients on contentious tax matters, combining technical tax expertise with dispute resolution and litigation capabilities as one integrated team.
As disputes become increasingly complex, clients seek advice across various jurisdictions and representation in different fora for interim relief, substantive proceedings and enforcement. Our team combines extensive international experience with commercial awareness to provide clear solutions for early resolution. For tax disputes, this means we can support clients throughout the full dispute lifecycle – from tax authority audits, assessments and administrative challenges through to tribunal and court proceedings, where required.
How we help our dispute resolution clients
Strategic partners throughout the dispute lifecycle
We partner with clients from the earliest signs of conflict through to final determination, ensuring clarity, risk management and strategic alignment at every stage.
Consistent with Gateley’s wider Middle East offering, we remain accessible and straightforward, giving clients clear recommendations and practical strategies rather than theoretical options or heavily qualified advice.
Our innovative and efficient working methods ensure predictable outcomes, transparent fee structures and the ability to deploy senior expertise where it adds the greatest value.
