BaghdadiLaw’s experience in commercial agency disputes in the UAE

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to commercial agency disputes, with detailed knowledge of agent performance, commission, exclusivity, compensation and termination. An agency dispute may combine money already earned with disagreement over territory, termination or the register. UAE advice separates those rights so an invoice settlement does not unintentionally decide the future of the whole relationship.

A UAE agency dispute may combine termination, registration, commission and stock issues. Law 3/2022 provides a specific registered-agency framework; classify that status before selecting the dispute route and considering any arbitration clause. Identify the disputed obligation—payment, territory, supply or termination—and connect each allegation to a clause and record. A general complaint about the relationship is insufficient for a precise claim review.

We agree the work your matter needs: Reconcile an admitted commission debt separately from contested termination or registration rights. A settlement should state what is released; where core status remains disputed, select the relevant procedure before committing to terms that presume one side's classification. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An itemised agency-claim assessment and settlement boundary note showing what can be reconciled and which status or exit issues need separate resolution.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on commercial agency disputes in the UAE

Should commission, stock and termination be handled as one claim?

Create separate schedules for each disputed obligation, then consider their connection. Different evidence or procedures may apply. This helps prevent a settlement of invoices from unintentionally settling an unresolved registration, termination or compensation issue.

Should all demands be described as compensation?

No. Earned debt, exit compensation and registration relief have different bases and evidence.

Can settling invoices leave the agency dispute open?

Yes, depending on the release. Define precisely which claims are settled and which are reserved.
