Finding a lawyer
If you want to take formal steps, the right move is to get your own independent legal advice from a qualified firm. Below are some established UAE law firms known for financial and commercial disputes, as a starting point for your own research.
Please read this first. This group is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We are not affiliated with any firm listed here, we do not recommend or endorse any of them, and we receive nothing from any firm. This is general information only, and the list is not exhaustive.
Al Tamimi & Company
One of the largest firms in the region, with a well-known practice before the DIFC Courts and long experience acting in financial and commercial disputes.
Habib Al Mulla & Partners

These firms appear in independent legal directories such as Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500. Their inclusion here reflects that public recognition, not any view of our own.
Before instructing anyone: speak to more than one firm, ask about their fees in writing, and ask each firm to confirm it has no conflict of interest in acting against AIX or any related entity. Choosing a lawyer is your decision alone.
A reminder that applies everywhere: no genuine firm will contact you out of the blue promising to recover your money for an upfront fee. If someone does, treat it as a scam.
