BaghdadiLaw’s experience in commission agreement in the UAE

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to commission agreements, with detailed knowledge of entitlement, the intermediary’s contribution, transaction completion and receipt of payment. Commission disputes often begin when the parties disagree about what earned the fee. For a UAE-linked appointment, identify whether payment follows introduction, contract signature or customer collection, and whether repeat orders remain covered.

Under the UAE commercial framework, commission arrangements must be classified by the intermediary's actual role: introducing a customer, negotiating as agent or contracting in its own name. The fee trigger, authority and identity of the contracting party change the analysis; a commission label does not establish registered commercial-agency status. Trace the introduction, completed transaction and commission trigger. Messages showing involvement may not establish the agreed rate or payment stage; obtain the fee terms and any exclusions.

We agree the work your matter needs: If the earning event is undisputed, reconcile transactions and payment. If the dispute concerns repeat orders or competing introductions, define attribution before agreeing a fee; a repayment schedule cannot resolve uncertainty over which sales are covered. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A commission calculation and clause review linking each covered transaction to the agreed trigger and identifying attribution or payment gaps.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on commission agreement in the UAE

When is commission actually earned?

Start with the agreed earning event: an introduction, signed sale, delivery or receipt of payment may have different effects. Reconcile the sales record with cancellations, refunds and any post-termination provisions before calculating the claim.

Is commission due if the customer never pays?

Read whether the fee is triggered by introduction, signature, delivery or collection. Separate an earned fee from any agreed clawback; the customer's default alone does not answer the contractual question.

How should repeat orders be treated?

Identify the protected customer, covered transactions and any tail period in the agreement. A first introduction does not explain every later sale without those boundaries.
