BaghdadiLaw’s experience in contract breach & termination in the UAE

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to contract breach and termination disputes, with detailed knowledge of the obligation in issue, notice, opportunities to remedy and rights arising on termination. Ending a UAE commercial contract after a breach can create further liability if the ground and contractual steps are unclear. Review should distinguish a curable failure from a proposed termination and address accrued payment, handover and continuing obligations.

UAE termination analysis separates a breach, the agreed cure mechanism and the legal effect sought. Civil Transactions Law 25/2025 and relevant commercial rules must be assessed against contract dates; stopping work and validly ending obligations are not equivalent acts. Compare the alleged breach with notice, cure and termination records. A decision to end the relationship needs review of continuing obligations, payments and any disputed right to terminate.

We agree the work your matter needs: Use the agreed cure process for a remediable breach. Where continued performance is commercially possible, negotiate a defined amendment; termination should follow its legal and contractual basis with a separate account of accrued payments and return obligations. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A breach chronology and termination-risk note explaining notice requirements to verify, remaining obligations and a reasoned correction or exit position.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on contract breach & termination in the UAE

Does a breach automatically justify immediate termination?

No. Examine the obligation, seriousness, notice, cure terms and applicable rules. Preserve the performance record and consider the consequences of stopping work or payment before choosing termination, continued performance or another remedy.

Should every breach lead immediately to termination?

Compare severity, cure terms and alternatives before choosing a potentially irreversible response.

What remains after termination?

Ending future performance does not answer every accrued obligation. Review earned payments, return of property or information, confidentiality, security and dispute terms, and identify which survive or require a separate settlement.
