Partnership Dispute Expert Report Services in the UAE
The financial clarity a partnership dispute needs, before it turns into a longer, costlier fight than it has to be.
A partnership dispute expert report is a comprehensive analysis and evaluation prepared by a qualified expert witness in a partnership or joint venture dispute. Farahat & Co. provides independent partnership dispute expert reports for UAE courts, arbitration, and mediation, covering financial analysis, valuation, and forensic accounting. Our team comprises experienced professionals who conduct comprehensive, impartial analysis to support effective resolution of complicated partnership disputes.
What Is a Partnership Dispute Expert Report?
A partnership dispute expert report provides an objective and impartial assessment of the financial and operational issues at the centre of a dispute, offering professional insights that support resolution, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings.
These reports are essential in the UAE for helping courts, arbitrators, and legal teams understand the intricate financial and operational elements of a partnership. Beyond litigation, they support fair valuation of a partner’s share, since correctly assessing that value is often the single most contested issue in a dispute.

Legal Framework Our Financial Analysis Draws On
Our expert reports are grounded in the current UAE legal framework governing partnerships and business relationships, ensuring our financial analysis reflects the standards a court or tribunal will actually apply.
- Commercial Companies Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021): Article 22 sets the general duty of care for directors and managers, requiring them to act as a reasonably prudent person would in the company’s interests. Article 152 governs related-party transactions, requiring disclosure where a conflict of interest may exist. Our financial analysis often examines whether transactions and decisions are consistent with these obligations.
- Civil Transactions Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 25 of 2025): effective 1 June 2026, this law replaced the previous Civil Transactions Code and governs the broader principles of contractual good faith and performance that apply to partnership and shareholder agreements.
- DIFC-specific jurisdiction: partnerships and companies incorporated within the DIFC fall outside the Commercial Companies Law entirely and are governed by DIFC’s own company law, with disputes handled by the DIFC Courts. Our reports are prepared to reflect the correct legal framework depending on where the partnership is incorporated.
Common Triggers for Partnership Disputes
Partnership disputes tend to arise from a recurring set of underlying issues, each of which calls for a different financial analysis focus.
- Profit distribution disagreements: disputes over how profits, dividends, or reinvestment decisions have been handled between partners.
- Management and decision-making conflicts: disagreements over strategic direction, resource allocation, or the authority of individual partners.
- Breach of partnership or shareholder agreements: allegations that one partner has violated the terms of the governing agreement.
- Exit and buyout disputes: disagreements arising when a partner wishes to sell their interest or exit the business, often centred on valuation.
- Allegations of mismanagement or fraud: claims involving self-dealing, misappropriation of partnership funds, or breach of fiduciary duty.
- Dissolution and winding-up disagreements: disputes over how a partnership’s assets and liabilities should be divided when it ceases to operate.

How We Value Partnership Interests
Valuing a partner’s interest is often the most contested element of a partnership dispute, and getting the methodology right materially affects the outcome.
Our valuation analysis considers the partnership’s assets, liabilities, revenue history, profitability trends, and future earnings potential, applying recognised valuation methodologies appropriate to the business and industry involved. Where a partnership agreement specifies a particular valuation method or formula, our analysis works within that framework. Where no method is specified, we apply standard valuation approaches, income-based, market-based, or asset-based, selecting and justifying the method most appropriate to the facts of the case.
