Off Plan Resolve

Our process

Start with the SPA.

Four steps to get a matter in front of us, and five stages once it is. No stage commits you to the next one.

How a matter begins

01

Tell us what happened

Complete a short confidential questionnaire about the property, project, developer and dispute.

02

Upload the documents

Upload your SPA and any relevant notices, payment records, emails, brochures or other documents.

03

We assess the matter

The transaction and dispute are reviewed to identify the principal issues and potential options.

04

Choose your strategy

We explain the available routes and help determine an appropriate next step based on your objective.

What happens after the assessment

01

Case assessment

We review the transaction, your documentation, the status of the development and what has occurred.

02

Rights & exposure

We identify the relevant contractual issues, purchaser obligations, developer obligations, potential claims, risks and available remedies.

03

Strategy

We determine the most commercially sensible approach based on your objective. That may include pursuing completion, remediation, compensation, settlement, a payment resolution, contract termination, refund, or another available remedy depending on the facts and applicable law.

04

Developer engagement

Where appropriate, the matter can begin with a structured claim or negotiation with the developer rather than immediately escalating into formal proceedings.

05

Dispute escalation

Where a negotiated solution cannot be reached, Off Plan Resolve helps assess the appropriate next step, which may involve DLD/RERA procedures, formal legal proceedings, arbitration or another dispute-resolution mechanism depending on the contract and circumstances.

Where representation before a court, tribunal or authority requires separately licensed UAE counsel, the matter is coordinated with appropriately licensed UAE counsel.

What to expect

Straight answers, including the unwelcome ones

An assessment is only useful if it tells you what is weak as well as what is strong. If the SPA gives the developer a wide extension right, you should hear that early — before spending money on a strategy built around a date that may not bind them. Equally, not every delay, variation or defect is a breach. Large construction projects move. Some contractual variation rights are legitimate and enforceable. Part of the work is separating what is genuinely actionable from what is simply disappointing. Where a commercial resolution is realistically available, that is usually worth testing before a formal escalation. Where it is not, you should know that too.

Case assessment

Tell us what happened.

Six short steps. You can stop at the SPA and send the rest later. Everything you submit is treated as confidential.
