The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is a financial free zone in Abu Dhabi that operates under English common law with its own independent court system, legal framework, and regulatory authorities. ADGM Courts handle commercial disputes, employment claims, and regulatory enforcement matters entirely in English, using procedural rules based on the English Civil Procedure Rules.

QAF Legal's ADGM practice focuses on litigation before ADGM Courts, arbitration under the ADGM Arbitration Centre, corporate advisory for ADGM-registered entities, and regulatory compliance with ADGM authorities including the Financial Services Regulatory Authority. Our lawyers are experienced in navigating ADGM's unique legal ecosystem, from initial case strategy through trial and enforcement.

We represent clients in commercial disputes, employment tribunal claims, corporate governance matters, and regulatory enforcement proceedings before ADGM institutions. Whether you are establishing an ADGM entity, defending a claim before the ADGM Employment Tribunal, or enforcing an arbitral award, our ADGM courts lawyers provide precise, English-language counsel at every stage. Our deep familiarity with ADGM procedure and the FSRA regulatory regime makes us a trusted partner for financial institutions, funds, and international businesses operating within the free zone.
