About the IDR Group The International Dispute Resolution (IDR) team at the firm is at the forefront of complex cross-border disputes. The IDR team handles a broad scope of matters, including high-value international arbitrations under major institutional rules (ICC, UNCITRAL, DIAC, arbitrateAD) and heavyweight litigation in the UAE’s common law courts (DIFC and ADGM). Its members undertake their own advocacy before international courts and tribunals in the UAE and abroad. The Role They are recruiting a common law?trained advocate (Barrister or Specialist Advocate/ Solicitor?Advocate) to take a leading role in offshore litigation before the DIFC and ADGM Courts, as well as arbitral proceedings seated in the region. The successful candidate will have a strong pedigree in drafting submissions and pleadings—including skeleton arguments, statements of case, and applications. Courtroom experience is an advantage, but superior drafting ability is essential. Core Responsibilities • Advocacy: Draft and review pleadings, memorials, applications, and other substantive submissions for international arbitrations and offshore court proceedings. Assist senior lawyers in developing case strategy and managing complex files from inception through final award/judgment. • Legal Research: Legal Research: Conduct rigorous research on common law court procedure, with proven familiarity with the Rules of the DIFC (RDC) or ADGM Courts, or equivalents in the candidate’s home jurisdiction. Prepare detailed memoranda on procedural law, case management, and cross-border enforcement issues, and apply these insights to draft persuasive written submissions and procedural applications. • Advisory: Assist in enforcement of arbitral awards and foreign judgments within and outside the DIFC/ADGM. Advise clients on litigation risk, dispute avoidance, and alternative dispute resolution (mediation/negotiation) where appropriate, reflecting a proactive problem-solving approach.

Candidates must demonstrate a strong record of drafting pleadings, skeleton arguments, applications, and written submissions for commercial disputes. Prior involvement in contested hearings or trial preparation is advantageous but secondary to a proven pedigree in persuasive written advocacy. • Education: Strong academic foundation in law with an excellent first degree.
