Property Lawyers in Dubai – Real Estate Contracts, Disputes, Investments & DIFC/Dubai Court Representation | Advocate Sanjay Dubbey
Dubai’s property market is one of the most dynamic in the world, attracting investors, developers, landlords, tenants, and corporations from more than 150 countries. With constant growth, high-value transactions, and evolving regulations, property disputes and legal complexities are becoming increasingly common — especially across off-plan sales, commercial leases, service charge disputes, and tenancy issues.
Whether your property is in Downtown, Dubai Marina, Business Bay, JVC, Palm Jumeirah, or DIFC, you need a lawyer who understands Dubai real estate law, DIFC common-law contracts, and the complex interface between developers, buyers, landlords, tenants, owners associations (OA), and property regulators such as RERA.
SDC Legal Consultants, led by Advocate Sanjay Dubbey, provides complete real estate legal support — from drafting contracts to resolving disputes through negotiation, arbitration, DIFC Courts, or Dubai Courts.
