A court memo is a written submission to Dubai Courts that sets out your facts, your requests and your answer to the other side. We turn your instructions and evidence into a clear Arabic draft, ready for you or your licensed advocate to review and file.
In a Dubai Courts case, much of the argument happens on paper. A memo tells the court what happened, answers points raised by the other party and states plainly what you are asking for, with each supporting document referenced. Because the court works in Arabic, the memo needs to be in Arabic too.
Drafting means we write the memo from scratch using what you tell us: your account of events, the documents you hold and the requests you want to make. We arrange that material in a logical order, keep the language precise and neutral, and link each statement to the evidence behind it. The content comes from your instructions; the structure and Arabic wording are our work.
If the text already exists, whether yours or your lawyer's, you need formatting rather than drafting, and our court memo typing service is the better fit. Either way, a licensed advocate should review any memo that relies on legal arguments, cites laws or affects a deadline, because those points need legal judgement we don't provide.
People handling a Dubai Courts matter themselves who need their account set out clearly and in proper Arabic.
Clients who want a well-organised first draft of the facts for their advocate to review, refine and file.
Owners who need a dispute with a customer, supplier or landlord explained in a structured memo backed by their own records.
Clear boundaries, so you know exactly what you're paying for and who decides each step.
We may ask for more evidence if a statement in the memo is not yet backed by a document.
Government fees, paid at cost
Submitting a memo in a case may carry court fees set by Dubai Courts. Where they apply, they are paid at cost and listed separately from our drafting fee.

Timing
Drafting time depends on how much material there is and how quickly any gaps are filled. We agree a ready date when we quote, working back from any court date you give us, while tracking the deadline itself stays with you or your advocate.
Each step shows who does what, so you always know where things stand.
Tell us what happened and what you want the court to do, and share your documents, in person at our Bur Dubai office or remotely.
We build a timeline, match each point to a document and come back to you with any gaps or contradictions before drafting starts.
We write the memo in formal Arabic, with numbered sections, a clear list of requests and a schedule of attachments.
You check the draft against the English summary. If the memo touches on legal arguments or deadlines, have a licensed advocate review it at this stage.
We make the agreed changes and prepare the final memo and translated attachments, ready to file.
You or your advocate submit the memo through Dubai Courts e-services. We can guide you through the upload if you file it yourself.
Dubai Courts consider the memo alongside the rest of the case file and decide how the case proceeds.
Choose drafting when you have the facts and the documents but no written text yet. We shape your instructions into a complete Arabic memo.
Choose typing when the words already exist, for example a draft from your advocate or a memo you wrote yourself. Our court memo typing service types and formats that text in Arabic without changing what it says.
These are presentation standards, not legal tactics. They help the court see your position clearly; the legal merits are for the court to decide and for your advocate to advise on.
Short answers here. Your situation may differ, so ask us before you decide.
A court memo is a written submission in an ongoing case. It sets out the facts, responds to the other party and states what you are asking the court to do, with supporting documents attached. At Dubai Courts it is submitted in Arabic, by a party or their advocate, and the court weighs it with the rest of the file.
Yes. We draft the memo in formal Arabic from your instructions and documents, and give you an English summary so you can check it reflects what you told us. We don't add legal arguments of our own. Supporting documents in other languages are translated by Ministry of Justice-registered legal translators.
Yes, if the memo relies on legal arguments, cites laws, answers a legal point or affects a deadline. Global Sky PRO is not a law firm and gives no legal advice, so we organise and word your instructions but cannot judge their legal effect. A licensed advocate can review the draft before it is filed.
Drafting means we write the memo from your instructions when no text exists yet. Typing means you or your lawyer already have the wording and need it typed and formatted in Arabic to the court's layout. If you have a finished draft, our court memo typing service is usually the simpler choice.
At least three days before the hearing date, according to the UAE government portal's guide to civil cases. It says the defendant files the written defence with the Case Management Office by then. Your court papers may set other deadlines, and the court can give its own directions, so check them and confirm with your advocate. Bring us your instructions well before that date, because drafting, review and any legal translations all take time.

We need your case number, every court paper received so far, the other party's memo or claim if you are replying, and your own account of events in any language you are comfortable with. Add the contracts, invoices, emails and messages that support each point, and a list of what you want the court to order. UAE courts work in Arabic, so documents in other languages need legal translation before the memo is filed.

It depends on how much material there is, how clear the instructions are and whether evidence needs legal translation first, so we agree a ready date when we quote. We work back from any hearing or filing date you give us and flag gaps early. Deadlines are set by Dubai Courts and the law, and tracking them stays with you or your advocate. Starting early also leaves time for your advocate to review the draft before it is filed.
