In the interview, Galadari advised corporate clients and financial institutions facing complex disputes in the UAE to begin by assessing their legal position, commercial objectives, potential exposure, and available remedies. He noted that businesses must weigh costs, timing, risks, and likely outcomes before selecting between negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, ensuring legal strategy aligns with business goals.
Galadari also highlighted how law firms can modernize institutional capabilities for cross-border business by integrating legal technology and artificial intelligence.
