Recovering money and protection against fraud in the UAE
We deal with situations where money has been handed over but the obligation has not been performed: investments, prepayments, real estate deals, cryptocurrency schemes. We pursue both a civil claim and a fraud complaint.
When clients come to us
- you invested money in a project and lost contact with the recipient
- you paid a deposit, but the service or goods were not provided
- you transferred funds following an investment offer sent over messenger
- a partner withdrew money from a joint project
- you were promised returns, and the other party stopped responding
What we do
- assess whether the elements of fraud are present or whether this is a civil dispute
- gather evidence: correspondence, payments, public promises
- identify the recipient of the funds and their assets in the UAE
- file a police complaint and support the preliminary investigation
- file a civil claim seeking interim measures
- secure the freezing of accounts and assets before the ruling is issued
How the work proceeds
- Review. We examine the documents and correspondence and determine the legal nature of the case: breach of contract, unjust enrichment, or fraud.
- Strategy. We choose the route. Working in parallel is often effective: a police complaint creates pressure, while a civil claim secures recovery.
- Securing assets. We apply to freeze accounts and assets so that there is something to recover from by the time the ruling is issued.
- Recovery. We pursue the process and enforcement proceedings until the funds are actually recovered.
Documents required
- proof of transfers and payments
- correspondence with the recipient of the funds
- the contract, offer, or investment proposal
- the defendant's details: name, company, payment details

Коротко о главном
It depends on whether the recipient can be identified and whether they have assets in the UAE. If the funds went to anonymous wallets outside the jurisdiction, the chances are low, and we will tell you so directly rather than take the case just for the fee.
The police create pressure and a criminal-law dimension, while the court delivers an enforceable ruling ordering the money to be returned. Most often, both tracks work in parallel.
The general limitation period for contractual claims in the UAE is 15 years, but for certain categories it is significantly shorter. The sooner you come forward, the higher the chance of catching the assets before they disappear.
If they still have assets or interests in the UAE, the case is worth pursuing. We check this at the assessment stage.
