      Frequently asked questions

      01Is Global Debt Collector a law firm?

      No. Global Debt Collector is a debt collection agency. Legal work and court representation are provided by UAE-licensed advocates at associated law firms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with Global Debt Collector coordinating the matter. It is worth being clear which you are engaging, because collection work and legal representation are different services with different regulation.

      02Who actually represents a client in court?

      A UAE-licensed advocate from an associated law firm. Rights of audience before the UAE courts are restricted to licensed advocates, so representation always sits with the associated firm. Global Debt Collector's role in a litigated matter is coordination — preparing evidence, managing the file, and keeping the client informed.

      03Which legal services are available through the associated firms?

      Commonly commercial and contractual matters, debt and enforcement proceedings, corporate and commercial documentation, property and rental disputes, family matters, wills and succession, and trademark and intellectual property registration. Which firm handles a matter depends on the specialism it calls for.

      04How does an engagement usually start?

      With a confidential review of the situation and the documents, generally responded to within 24 hours. That review sets out what the matter involves, the realistic options, and the likely cost of each, before any engagement is agreed. Where a matter needs a licensed advocate, it is referred to the appropriate associated firm at that point.

      05How are fees structured?

      Debt recovery is generally handled on a no win, no fee basis — a percentage of what is actually recovered, with no collection fee if nothing is recovered. Legal work through associated law firms is charged on that firm's own terms, which are set out before instruction. Court and administrative fees are set by the courts and are separate in either case.

      06Which locations are covered?

      All seven emirates, with associated law firms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for matters requiring court representation. For cross-border matters, work is handled through a partner network spanning 55+ jurisdictions.

      07Which languages can matters be handled in?

      Arabic, English, German, Urdu and Hindi, with further languages available through partner firms. Proceedings before the UAE civil courts are generally conducted in Arabic, and documents issued in another language usually require legally authorised translation.

      08Is the information on this website legal advice?

      No. Everything here is general information about how processes commonly work in the UAE. It cannot account for the facts of any particular matter, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a licensed UAE legal professional about your own situation.
