OGH Legal

Partner

Mohamed Al Sabah is a partner in OGH Legal's Dispute Resolution team and a specialist in criminal proceedings and investigations. His practice covers criminal litigation before UAE courts, regulatory investigations and complex multi-party proceedings involving both civil and criminal exposure. He brings particular depth in matters where criminal and civil tracks intersect, which are among the most legally and strategically complex that practitioners in the UAE encounter.

Career Background

Prior to joining OGH Legal, Mohamed  was a senior practitioner in the disputes practice at leading UAE law firm, a leading UAE local firm, developing clients and delivering across a broad disputes caseload - means he brings both technical depth and the commercial maturity expected of a senior partner. At OGH, he has stepped directly into leadership roles on the firm's most sensitive and high-stakes criminal mandates.

Practice & Sector Focus

Mohamed's practice spans criminal litigation before the UAE courts, regulatory investigation defence, and matters involving concurrent civil and criminal proceedings across multiple jurisdictions. In a market where many firms treat criminal work as a peripheral or secondary practice area, Mohamed provides OGH with a dedicated criminal specialist who brings the same rigour and strategic sophistication to that track as the firm's civil litigators bring to theirs.

The intersection of civil and criminal proceedings is increasingly common in the UAE's most significant commercial disputes - in fraud recovery, insolvency, enforcement and regulatory enforcement contexts. OGH's ability to run both tracks simultaneously under one roof, with a dedicated criminal specialist as partner, is a material differentiator that clients - particularly those facing or pursuing fraud-related proceedings, which is value highly.
