Real Estate & Property Lawyer in Dubai
Samira Al Zarooni offers expert real estate & property legal services in Dubai. Our lawyers review agreements, verifying title records & checking escrow compliance across the UAE
— ABOUT THIS PRACTICE
Our real estate lawyer reviews sale agreements, title deeds, escrow terms, and lease contracts before they are signed. They check whether the person selling or leasing the property has the right to do so, whether the terms in the agreement match what is registered, and whether the payment and handover conditions are clearly defined.
In the UAE, those documents are submitted after signing to the Land Departments and recorded as the basis of ownership, payment obligations, and delivery terms. If any errors are made at this stage, they cannot be corrected later. Anything that is signed becomes a part of the official transaction and will have to be upheld in case of disputes later down the line.
At Samira Al Zarooni, we handle transaction review, lease matters, and disputes on your behalf. Our property legal services include reviewing agreements, verifying title records, and checking escrow compliance. We handle disputes between buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and developers, including filing claims, responding to notices, and appearing before the relevant authorities.

— WHAT WE HANDLE
What Can You Get Under Our Real Estate & Property Legal Services?
If you are stuck in a property matter or have concerns about a document you’re about to sign, here are the services you can hire us for.
Residential & Commercial Property Legal Support
A real estate lawyer from our team can review sale and lease agreements, check title records, and confirm that the party entering the transaction with you has the legal right to do so. This applies to residential units, commercial spaces, and mixed-use developments, whether you are an owner, tenant, or developer.
Off-Plan Property Purchases & Escrow Support
At Samira Al Zarooni, our real estate lawyer in Dubai can verify that the project is registered, the escrow account is in place, and all your payments are linked to construction progress. Our lawyer also reviews the sale agreement issued by the developer and checks whether the payment and delivery terms match what is filed with the authorities and whether they are in line with the prevailing banking law.
Mortgage & Real Estate Financing Support
We review property financing, ensuring that the current banking & finance law requirements are fulfilled properly. Our real estate lawyer will check loan agreements, security documents, and repayment terms in the contracts to ensure they align with the transaction and do not conflict with ownership or transfer conditions. This ensures that you are protected in the long run, whether you are mortgaging your property or buying a new one.
Title & Ownership Disputes
Lawyers for property disputes from our firm will review the title deeds, registration records, and transaction history of the property to determine ownership rights. This includes tracking discrepancies between recorded ownership and contractual claims, and addressing how those issues are presented before the relevant authority.
Landlord & Tenant Disputes
Our rental dispute lawyer in Dubai can handle matters such as eviction notices, unpaid rent, and lease violations. This includes preparing the filings, responding to claims made by the opposing party, and appearing before the rental dispute committee where required.
Developer Dispute & Delay Claims
A real estate lawyer from our team will review the sale agreement, construction timeline, and project status if there are delays in the delivery timeline. This includes assessing whether the developer has met contractual obligations or not, and filing claims where delivery terms are not met.
Legal Advisory on Property Transactions
Our real estate lawyer in Dubai can advise you on the legal terms of a deal before a transaction is made. This includes understanding the terms that you and the other party discussed before documenting anything and reviewing the contract to ensure payment conditions and other terms are written exactly as originally discussed. They will also ensure that registration requirements are fulfilled accurately so that the documentation can hold valid in the Courts in case a dispute arises later.
Dispute Resolution & Litigation
A rental dispute attorney from our team will handle property disputes by filing claims, responding to legal notices, and representing you before the relevant authorities and courts. We also handle cases where either party is outside Dubai or the UAE and manage Foreign JD execution and INTERPOL to enforce rulings from outside the UAE against debtors holding properties in the UAE. In INTERPOL cases, we can support you with arrest warrants, Red notices, property seizures and other diffusions, and extradition proceedings.
Contract Drafting & Review
We will review drafts or revise the agreements to reflect accurate terms on payment, delivery, ownership terms, liability, and termination of tenancy or lease. This applies to sale agreements, lease contracts, and developer-issued documents. We can also help you with drafting and executing wills and estate planning to ensure your property goes to your successor.
Due Diligence & Compliance
Our property lawyers in Dubai will verify ownership records, government approvals to the developer, and registration status of a property before you make a transaction. This includes checking whether the property is free from restrictions, disputes, incomplete registration, or other unmet legal obligations.

Key Regulations & Legal Framework in UAE Property Law
The following regulations and legal frameworks play a key role in the UAE property law and your lawyer from the Samira Al Zarooni team will ensure your transactions comply with them.
UAE Property Ownership Laws
Property ownership is governed by laws that define where ownership is permitted, the type of ownership available, and how it is registered. A real estate lawyer can check for you whether the ownership structure of your chosen property complies with these rules before the transaction is completed.
UAE Land Departments & Real Estate Regulatory Authorities
All property transactions in the UAE are regulated by the respective emirate’s land department and real estate regulatory authorities. These authorities record property transactions, issue title deeds, and oversee developers, brokers, and project registration with the government. Your lawyer will ensure that the transaction and all related documents meet the legal requirements set forth by these authorities.
Ejari Tenancy Registration
Ejari records tenancy contracts and links them to the property and parties involved. A rental dispute lawyer from our team can check that the lease is registered correctly so it can be legally enforced before the rental dispute committee if required.
