I am writing to seek your legal expertise and advice on a pressing issue concerning a property sale transaction that my brokerage company has facilitated. Here are the details: Our brokerage company represented the seller in a property sale where the property was sold with an existing rental agreement in place. As per the terms of the agreement, the rental balance was supposed to be given to the buyer, who is now the new owner of the property. In this transaction, our company is entitled to a 40% commission, and the buyer's brokerage company is entitled to 60%. However, the buyer's brokerage company, which has complete control over the buyer's funds, has transferred the entire 100% commission to their own account. They are currently withholding this commission, stating that they will release it once the rental balance is paid to the buyer. Unfortunately, we have lost contact with the buyer, as he has blocked the seller's agent, making it impossible for us to fulfill this condition.

I want to be a lawyer and study law in the UK. I am a UAE national but I am worried about studying outside the UAE and not being able to actually become a lawyer in the UAE. Do I really need to study in the UAE to become a lawyer here?

سيدي العزيز لقد تقدمت بطلب للحصول على برامج Canada AIPP من إحدى وكالات الاستشارات في دبي في عام 2021، وأخبروني أن العملية ستستغرق عامًا واحدًا. والآن استغرقت أكثر من عامين. أخبروني أنهم تقدموا لي هذه السنوات ولكن لم أتلق أي رد من أي شركة، وعندما طلبت منهم إخباري بمكان تقديم الطلب، أخبروني أنه سري. الآن أخبرتهم بإيقاف العملية وسوف يعيدون لي أموالي ولكن سيكون المبلغ أقل بكثير وفقًا لهم. يرجى إخباري كيف يمكنني الحصول على أموالي حيث دفعت ما يقرب من 9000 درهم إماراتي أو كيف يمكنني المضي قدمًا بشكل قانوني.

مرحباً لقد عملت في شركة تحت كفيل محلي مع شريكين لمدة 6 سنوات وستنتهي تأشيرتي الشهر المقبل. ومع ذلك، أبلغتني شركتي أنها ستنقل تأشيرتي إلى شركتها الأخرى مع نفس المالك مع شريك جديد (بدون كفيل محلي). في هذه الحالة، ماذا علي أن أفعل؟ هل سيتم إضافة مكافأة نهاية الخدمة السابقة إلى تأشيرتي الجديدة أم يجب أن أحصل على مكافأة نهاية الخدمة وأعمل كموظف جديد؟ يرجى تقديم اقتراح.

مرحبًا، اشترينا شقة في يوليو. الشقة مؤجرة حتى نهاية نوفمبر مع المالك السابق الذي قدم لهم إشعار إخلاء العام الماضي لبيع المنزل. الآن يريدون تجديد العقد لكننا لا نريد التجديد لأننا نريد الانتقال إلى شقتنا للعيش فيها. هل يمكننا الانتقال إلى شقتنا ويجب على المستأجر الخروج؟ هل يمكن للمستأجر رفض الخروج؟

As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone, Please advise me on where I can find an affordable family lawyer. I'm only earning less than 5k AED monthly. I really want to apply for modification of the agreement for my 3-year-old daughter, but my ex-wife is not responding or cooperating, assuming she wants to retain the current agreement for 3 hours per week. I want to enforce my role as a guardian of my child and modify the agreement for more time and to be more included in the decision-making for her well-being.

Hello, My ID will expire on 14th May. The company is blocked. I want to change my status. How can I do this?

Sir, As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months. The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn't mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure. So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.
