Dubai Firm Awarded Dhs1.58 Million for Unpaid Consulting Services

A Dubai-based administrative consulting firm has won a lawsuit against an institution for unpaid consulting services, securing an award of approximately Dhs1.58 million. The firm had entered into a service agreement in April 2023 to help develop the holding company's operational strategies.

The agreement stipulated a fee of 3.4 million Saudi Riyals for 12 months of service, with an option for renewal. The consulting firm asserted that it fulfilled all its obligations and delivered the final project files. However, the institution allegedly failed to pay the full amount owed for the work performed, which the plaintiff claimed amounted to 5.468 million Saudi Riyals.

The Dubai Commercial Court ruled in favor of the consulting firm, ordering the institution to pay the outstanding sum along with legal interest. The case was dismissed against a second company named in the suit due to a lack of standing.
