Practice focus
Noura's practice combines high-stakes UAE litigation with international arbitration and the corporate work of clients who are usually the parties facing those disputes. She is known for taking on the matters most firms try to avoid — multi-party commercial disputes, judgement-execution against well-defended counterparties, and cross-border family-business restructurings — and closing them with the same partner accountable from first call to final recovery.
Capability focus
Noura is set up to lead on the kinds of mandates the firm is built for. The list below sets out scope of practice, not specific past matters; real anonymised matter experience is discussed under engagement-letter confidentiality once a conflict check has been completed.
- Commercial debt-recovery and execution work across Dubai and Abu Dhabi onshore courts, with coordinated parallel attachment proceedings.
- UAE infrastructure and sovereign-linked structuring and dispute-resolution architecture.
- DIAC and arbitrateAD (formerly ADCCAC) commercial arbitration in construction, trading and energy.
- Family office and HNW restructuring, IP protection of UAE-based brands, and Foundation-based succession.
- Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements and arbitral awards in the UAE, including reciprocity-based and DIFC-conduit routes.
Approach
Noura's clients describe her style as direct, commercial and decisive. She insists every matter has a single partner accountable to the client, a clearly framed commercial objective, and a written plan that survives contact with the courts. She is bilingual in Arabic and English and conducts hearings, negotiations and client briefings fluently in either language.
