BaghdadiLaw’s experience in unfair competition in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to unfair competition disputes, with detailed knowledge of distinguishing legitimate commercial rivalry from conduct alleged to infringe a business’s rights. A rival's use of misleading statements or confusing market conduct may harm a UAE business without copying a registered trademark. The review identifies the particular representation, audience and commercial harm rather than treating ordinary competition as unlawful.
Commercial Transactions Law 50/2022 addresses conduct such as misleading statements and improper diversion of a competitor's customers. A UAE claim should identify the act and resulting loss, rather than treating ordinary loss of market share as proof of unlawful competition. Record the specific competitive conduct and the right or rule said to be affected. Lower prices or lost customers alone do not identify the legal basis of an unfair-competition allegation.
We agree the work your matter needs: Seek correction or cessation where a specific false statement is evidenced. A damages claim needs attributable loss; where the dispute is ordinary price or service competition, reconsider the legal basis rather than infer wrongdoing from declining sales. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A market-conduct chronology and evidence assessment explaining which representations support correction, cessation or a substantiated compensation request.

Before requesting advice on unfair competition in the UAE
Is losing customers enough to establish unfair competition?+
No. Identify the specific conduct complained of and the evidence of its effect. Lawful competition, misuse of protected information, misleading statements and brand confusion raise different questions and require distinct supporting records.
Is hiring a competitor's worker always unlawful?+
No. Examine the alleged inducement, misuse of secrets or customer diversion rather than employment movement alone.
Why distinguish lost sales from reputational harm?+
They require different proof and should not be counted twice in a single damages total.
