DIFC Court Lawyers – Advocate Sanjay Dubbey | SDC Legal Consultants

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has its own independent court system based on English common law. For businesses, investors, and high-net-worth individuals, this creates a powerful forum to resolve complex commercial, financial, and cross-border disputes. But it also means you need a lawyer who understands not just UAE law, but DIFC Court rules, procedures, and common law principles.

• DIFC

• Downtown Dubai

• Business Bay

• Dubai World Trade Centre

• Emirates Towers / SZR corridor

• Dubai Marina / JLT / JAFZA
