ABU DHABI COURT SYSTEM

Abu Dhabi has its own independent court system

Unlike most emirates, Abu Dhabi opted out of the federal court system in 2006. The ADJD operates entirely independently — with its own three-tier structure, its own eJustice filing system, and its own rules. A lawyer who only knows Dubai courts is not fully prepared for Abu Dhabi.

ADJD — Abu Dhabi Judicial Department

Abu Dhabi's main court system — fully independent from UAE federal courts since 2006. Handles criminal, civil, commercial, family, labour and real estate cases. Three tiers: Court of First Instance → Court of Appeal → Court of Cassation. All filings through the eJustice online portal. Court fees run 3–6% of claim value, capped at AED 40,000 for civil cases.

ADGM Courts

The Abu Dhabi Global Market is the first jurisdiction in the Middle East to apply English Common Law directly. ADGM Courts conduct proceedings in English, are fully digital, and are preferred by international businesses for commercial disputes. Established under Abu Dhabi Law No. 12 of 2020 — with Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal.

International contractsCommercial disputesEnglish Common Law

Personal Status Courts

Divorce, custody, maintenance and inheritance for Muslim families are handled under Sharia-based Personal Status Courts. Notably, Abu Dhabi also has Abu Dhabi Law No. 14 of 2021 — a civil marriage law for non-Muslim expats, which allows family matters to be governed differently from the standard framework. We advise both Muslim and non-Muslim clients.

Abu Dhabi Police & Prosecution

Criminal matters in Abu Dhabi begin at the Abu Dhabi Police station or the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution. Early legal intervention here — before a charge is formally filed — is often the most effective point to protect your position. We attend Abu Dhabi Police stations 24/7 for urgent criminal matters.

Abu Dhabi Rent Dispute Committees

Abu Dhabi has dedicated rent dispute committees for landlord-tenant cases — separate from the main ADJD civil courts. Eviction notices, illegal rent increases, maintenance disputes and security deposit issues are handled here. Fast processing — most Abu Dhabi rent cases are resolved within weeks.

MULTILINGUAL LEGAL HELP IN ABU DHABI

Explain your Abu Dhabi case in
your own language

Abu Dhabi is home to the largest Indian expat community in the UAE — and over a million Pakistanis. Most law firms operating in Abu Dhabi conduct meetings in Arabic or English only, which means critical details are lost when clients cannot fully express themselves.

At Ittihad Legal Consultants, our team speaks Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and English fluently. Whether you are an ADNOC contractor, a government employee, a business owner or a family in crisis — you describe your situation in the language you think in, and nothing important is missed.
