Hello. My company asked me to sign a non-compete agreement written on their company letterhead, but now I want to leave the company and start my own company in the same business. Can I do that? Please note that the non-compete clause is not in my MOHRE contract.

We are establishing a tech solutions company with three founding partners, each bringing in different levels of investment. We want a shareholders’ agreement that clarifies share distribution, profit-sharing ratios, decision-making rights, and conditions for future capital increases. Can you assist in preparing this?

I want to ask a question. I signed my contract previously without including the maternity leave, and at that time, I was single. Now I am married and pregnant. Is there a possibility of getting maternity leave with pay? As per my company, they cannot give.

Good day I am involved in a police investigation due to an accident that happened at work. I was not on the site; however, because I am the region manager, I am automatically involved in the case. I potentially got an opportunity to work for a different company. My question is, can I change jobs while the investigation is still ongoing?

I signed a job offer in my contract, but I was given another, and I worked for one and a half years without any complaints. However, I have been given an offer letter from another company, and my former company is insisting that I should pay compensation. Is it legal?

I had a criminal case registered against me due to a telegram scam in Dubai. But I didn't know about it. It's been more than 6 months, and now I know about the case against me again. Can I appeal it in court, or will the judgment be enforced now?

We are restructuring our existing business and plan to introduce employee shareholders as part of a retention plan. We require a shareholders’ agreement that governs their profit participation, limits voting rights to certain decisions, and sets a buy-back policy if they leave the company. Could your legal team prepare this for us?

This is regarding my upcoming online appointment with the honorable judge. It will be my second appointment, as the first did not take place due to a link error. The matter concerns lifting my travel ban. After making two years of consistent EMI payments, I approached the bank. The bank confirmed by email that they would support my request, but asked me to apply through the court. After more than a month of follow-up, the bank is now demanding a guarantor, which is not part of the settlement agreement. Under Provision Four, the travel ban could be lifted if I: 1. Maintained six consecutive months of regular account credits. 2. Paid six consecutive EMIs without delay. I have consistently paid for two years of payments. Despite the judge notifying the bank, no response has been received for over a month. I reapplied online, and another judge has now been assigned. Kindly advise what questions I should expect in the hearing from the honorable judge and what documents to prepare. Kindly assist.

I am writing to formally seek your guidance and assistance regarding my Technical Trade License and associated joint bank account. I hold a Technical Trade License together with my business partner, Mr. K. M., who has been out of the country for the past 2–3 months. During this period, he has been unreachable and has not responded to any calls or communication. Additionally, my partner has taken an amount of AED 30,000 from me, which has not yet been repaid. We also maintain a joint bank account under the company, which I wish to close. However, the bank requires both partners’ signatures for cancellation. As my partner is absent and not cooperating, I am unable to proceed. In view of the above, I kindly request your advice and support on the following: - The process to remove my partner’s name from the Trade License. - Guidance on how to proceed with closing or freezing the joint bank account in the absence of my partner’s signature. I can file a case in India.

Hello, our business has unpaid rent. 1. The 30-day notice named my business but also wrongfully named my private name, while the rental contract is solely under the business name. I'm sure it was done in bad faith by the landlord to try to damage me personally. 2. After the 1st notice, I expected an RDC notification, and nothing came. I just logged in today on my app and saw that a verdict was pronounced on the 21st of August in this case, without me even getting an email, messages, or notification at the office to even appear at the 1st instance! How can this be handled? First of all, this rental situation should not involve my private name as the company is the sole tenant on this contract, and second, no notifications were ever sent to me, although at the office every day! Here is my WhatsApp for whoever knows what to do to successfully dispute these tricks by this landlord.

Hi My husband is working in his uncle’s company in Dubai with a salary of AED 8,000 monthly. I am not earning. During the 12th board, they told us to go to India, but we said we did not want to go. Before, one time we went, so my husband’s uncle told him not to pay the rent, saying once they come to the road, they will go to India. My husband kept on saying he would pay the rent. One day we came to the road for not paying rent, and we stayed the whole night in the car, then went to a hotel. After that, the uncle’s family took us to their house to talk. The kids did not want to go to their house because, for the last four years, they have threatened to cancel our visas. So they stood on the road waiting for me and told me that if I didn’t want to go to India, then he would pay rent only for one year, and other than that, I should not ask him for anything. He told me to write and sign that everything else I have to handle. I refused, and the uncle was yelling at me. I came out and waited for my husband for a long time, but he did not come, so we went to a hotel. Now it has been 8 months, he is not giving any money for our expenses, and he took my savings of 25,000 AED by cheating.

I would like to book a trademark or copyright for my brand. How to do it?

I want to ask a question. I signed my contract previously without including the maternity leave, and at that time, I was single. Now I am married and pregnant. Is there a possibility of getting maternity leave with pay? As per my company, they cannot give.

Good day I am involved in a police investigation due to an accident that happened at work. I was not on the site; however, because I am the region manager, I am automatically involved in the case. I potentially got an opportunity to work for a different company. My question is, can I change jobs while the investigation is still ongoing?

Good day! I just want to seek advice regarding my unpaid salary and gratuity. Actually, I already filed a case in MOHRE, and they released a final decision. However, until now, my previous company has refused to give me my last salary and gratuity, and they are not even replying to my messages and emails. What should I do? Thank you.
