Litigation Funding: Unlocking Opportunities for Consultants and Contractors in the UAE
In the UAE, many consultants and contractors continue to face the challenge of delayed or unpaid dues after completing their projects. Pursuing recovery through litigation or arbitration often requires significant resources and time, making it difficult for smaller firms to take action.
Litigation funding is now changing this scenario by providing a practical, risk-free way to pursue legitimate claims.
Litigation funding allows a third-party funder to cover legal costs in exchange for an agreed share of the recovered amount. This removes the financial burden from the claimant and transforms pending receivables into recoverable assets. The concept has gained strong recognition in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), where both jurisdictions have issued clear regulations to govern and support third-party funding arrangements.
For consultants, engineers, and contractors, this approach can make a real difference. Whether the dispute involves unpaid invoices, project delays, or variations, a funded claim ensures access to justice without disrupting cash flow. Funders typically conduct due diligence before committing to a case, which also strengthens its credibility and may encourage early settlement.
