How to recover commercial invoices pending with other companies
We run LLC construction and transportation company established in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Both are separate companies.
However, there are companies that owe us nearly 3 million.
- Among the companies, one of them was executed in 2013 and paid us 26% (600k out of 2.3M) of the total amount.
- The second company was declared as defaulter 3 years ago and has to pay us yet. No execution has taken place. The lawyer was hired and the case is still with her.
- The third company, main-contractor and we as sub-contractor. Recently, the project got terminated by the client and owes us around 850k, no claim has been filed yet.
My question to a lawyer:
1. Can I re-open a case against the first company and transfer it to Saudi Arabia where they're based? I'm not sure if they still have projects in the UAE.
2. Do you see all these as a potential case that can be executed and handled by a single lawyer? If yes, I can email you all the documents and I would like to get feedback so we can proceed further.
Thank you

Answer- As per your query, please note the following –
1. In regard to the execution case which is not yet recovered, we can start the process and then can make the procedure to recover it in Saudi, from the company situated there. It may be preliminary by notifying the defendant or enforcement in the Saudi Court.
2. If the lawyer has not worked with the same, then it can be filed with different power of the attorney.
3. A case can be opened against the main contractor, provided the documents and the arrangement of the contract are favouring the payment.
All can be handled by a single lawyer’s firm with ease.
