Hi, I need to hire a property lawyer. I have purchased a property that is still under construction. The handover was supposed to be May 2018 and it has been delayed for over 18 months. Can you please advise what is the average fee to the lawyer and any upcoming fees? I would like to either receive compensation for the delay or terminate the SPA and receive what I have paid. Thanks

My company terminated my services without any reason except for what they told me that they are cost-cutting. What are the complete benefits that they have to pay to me beside the gratuity? I worked there for 3 years.

هل من الممكن مطالبة صاحب العمل بإنهاء عقد العمل بالاتفاق المتبادل؟ لقد طلب مني صاحب العمل مؤخرًا تقديم استقالتي. ونظرًا لأنه لا يحق له قانونًا مطالبتي بذلك، وبما أنني لا أمانع في ترك الشركة لإيجاد فرص أفضل، هل يحق لي قانونًا أن أطلب منه خطاب إنهاء يُفيد بأنه تم إنهاء عقد العمل بالاتفاق المتبادل؟ وما هي النقاط الهامة التي يجب ذكرها في هذا الخطاب؟

مرحبًا، أعمل مدير عام في إحدى الشركات بمدينة دبي للإنترنت ونائب مدير المبيعات لدى تحالف الإعلام والترفيه والفنون. تم إنهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي بعد ثلاثة عشر عامًا بسبب بعض النتائج التي لا تلبي توقعات الشركة. لم يتم اتباع أي إجراءات قبل إنهاء الخدمة. أود أن أعرف ما إذا كان لديّ الحق في المطالبة بالتعويض عن الفصل التعسفي. تحياتي، أ. د.

Hello, I understand that if anyone wishes to resign without serving their full notice period, they are supposed to compensate the employer for the remaining time that they didn't serve the notice, also known as "notice Compensation". Is this notice compensation deducted based on the full salary or on the basic salary?

Hello, Can a registered company work with a freelancer who does not have a freelancer permit? At the same time, they are employed by another company.

I, as a UAE-based Seller, entered a sales agreement with a KSA-based Buyer. The Buyer defaulted on the LC payment, breaching the contract. The goods are stuck at the port as they need original documents, which I am holding to recover the outstanding balance. They later made a partial payment but now threaten to cash the PBG (UAE bank) I provided if don't release the document. The contract mandates DIAC arbitration but lacks a governing law clause. I need advice on: 1. Which law applies to this dispute? 2. Where can I seek an injunction to prevent PBG encashment, given the Buyer’s bad faith and breach? Or should I send a letter to their bank with the brief above? Kindly advise.

Hello, If I take unpaid leave and a weekend falls in between, will the weekend also be counted as unpaid leave, meaning I will not receive a salary for those weekend days? Thank you!

I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered. Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in. However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract. What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out? What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?
