FAQ

Q: What is the difference between DIFC law and UAE civil law?
DIFC is a common-law jurisdiction operating within Dubai, with its own legislation and courts based on English law principles. In many commercial and financial matters, parties choose DIFC law for predictability and familiarity.

Q: Can a DIFC lawyer in Dubai also advise on onshore UAE matters?
Yes. At SDC Legal, we work alongside onshore UAE advocates to coordinate strategies that may involve both DIFC and UAE courts.

Q: How do I know if my dispute belongs in DIFC?
Your contract, governing law clause, and factual matrix determine jurisdiction. We review your agreements and explain whether DIFC, onshore Dubai or arbitration is most suitable.

If your contracts, disputes or corporate structures involve DIFC law, you should speak with a lawyer who understands the full picture.
