Courts
Welcome to dubaibarristers.com the only website designed for Dubai International Financial Centre Courts' practitioners and users alike.
The DIFC Courts were established by the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum in December 2004. The courts were established to deal exclusively with all civil claims and disputes relating to the business of the DIFC itself. They were officially opened on 17 April 2007.
Whilst the DIFC Courts are in their infancy they will become over the next few years one of the most important legal forums in the world. They have complete and unfettered jurisdiction over all civil matters associated with the DIFC free zone.
The registered practitioners come from all over the word from the UK to Mexico and are all experienced commercial litigators. The DIFC Court is based upon the English Commercial Court and so English barristers are especially well suited to issuing and presenting cases in the Court.
