BaghdadiLaw’s experience in license revocation appeals in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to challenging licence revocation, with a detailed understanding of both disputed licensing conditions and defects alleged in the revocation process. Revocation of a UAE licence can interrupt an existing business and affect staff, customers and contracts. The review examines the revocation reasons, inspection history and corrective steps under the specific licensing authority's rules.
A UAE licence revocation must be tied to the licensing authority, regulated activity and stated breach. Local government-claims rules, including Dubai Law 16/2025 where applicable, sit alongside the sector's licensing process; a commercial licence and professional authorisation may have different routes. Read the revocation decision with the licence, alleged violations and earlier responses. Identify whether the dispute concerns facts, procedure or the consequence imposed.
We agree the work your matter needs: Correct a documented breach where restoration is realistically available. Challenge a contested reason through the relevant route where supported; if operations are immediately affected, assess temporary protection separately without treating submission of corrective material as renewed permission. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A revocation-response plan connecting the stated breaches to compliance evidence and identifying correction, grievance and urgent-relief issues.

Before requesting advice on license revocation appeals in the UAE
What matters when contesting a revoked licence?+
Review the licence conditions, alleged non-compliance, prior notices and the written revocation. Identify corrective steps already taken and the outcome needed. Continued operation, reinstatement and compensation are separate questions requiring assessment.
Does correcting the defect automatically restore the licence?+
Confirm the authority's actual restoration or amendment decision; correction and legal status are separate.
What should a challenge say about ongoing customers?+
Identify affected commitments and lawful continuity options without assuming permission to keep operating.
