BaghdadiLaw’s experience in forgery of commercial papers in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to commercial instrument forgery disputes, with detailed knowledge of denied signatures, altered particulars and disputes over the underlying debt. A disputed signature or alteration on a UAE commercial instrument raises an authenticity issue alongside any payment claim. The original document and reliable signature or issue records should be preserved before choosing how to raise the challenge.
A UAE instrument-forgery allegation must identify whether the disputed element is the signature, alteration or authority. Evidence and procedural rules matter alongside commercial-instrument law; a criminal allegation and a response to execution are not automatically the same step. Preserve the original and genuine comparison material without altering either. Explain whether the signature, amount, alteration or authority is disputed; these are not the same evidential issue.
We agree the work your matter needs: Preserve the original for a supported authenticity examination. Where the real issue is authority rather than fabrication, use that basis accurately. Coordinate any complaint with the execution response; one should not be assumed to suspend or replace the other. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An authenticity-evidence checklist and procedural issues note separating the disputed feature from payment defences and identifying material for expert assessment.

Before requesting advice on forgery of commercial papers in the UAE
Should a suspected forged signature be treated as an ordinary payment dispute?+
No assumption about authenticity should be made. Preserve the original, comparison material and how the document was obtained. Review urgent procedural steps and any expert or reporting needs separately from the amount claimed.
Is an unauthorised signature always a forged signature?+
No. Authenticity and authority are distinct issues and should be pleaded on the evidence.
Does reporting forgery itself halt execution?+
Do not assume it does; assess the available execution response and any separate suspension request.
