BaghdadiLaw’s experience in commercial fraud in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to commercial fraud matters, with detailed knowledge of distinguishing alleged product or origin misrepresentation from contractual disputes and establishing the evidence of responsibility. A suspected UAE commercial fraud may involve misrepresented goods, concealed facts or dishonest trading practices. Preserving the product and transaction trail helps determine whether the facts support a regulatory complaint, a separate criminal report or civil recovery.
UAE Anti-Commercial Fraud Law 42/2023 addresses fraudulent, spoiled and counterfeit goods. The legal category depends on the actual product and representation; late delivery or an unpaid debt should not be presented as product fraud without the corresponding facts. Preserve the original representation, payment trail and evidence of what was delivered. Identify when the discrepancy became known and distinguish suspicion from a fact supported by records.
We agree the work your matter needs: Preserve product and representation evidence first. Correction, replacement or refund may address the transaction, while competent reporting addresses the alleged prohibited conduct. A missed payment without product-fraud facts should follow its own contractual analysis. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An allegation-and-evidence brief separating verified facts from suspicion and identifying the materials needed for a competent authority or civil claim.

Before requesting advice on commercial fraud in the UAE
What should be documented before making a fraud allegation?+
Preserve the representation, product or document in question, who made it, when you relied on it and the resulting transaction. Distinguish suspected dishonesty from an ordinary performance dispute before choosing a report or claim.
Should suspect goods be altered before inspection?+
Preserve condition and chain of custody lawfully; alteration can undermine the comparison and any official inspection.
Is a label error always equivalent to counterfeit branding?+
No. Identify the nature of the misstatement and any protected mark separately.
