Can I file a case against a finance advisor selling fraudulent investments?
Hello,
I'm seeking advice on how UAE law safeguards against finance advisors selling fraudulent investments or defaulting on funds.
I've heard conflicting information regarding the necessity of an SCA license or approval from the Central Bank of the UAE.
Additionally, I've been told that law firms lack the authority to file cases against finance advisors operating under UAE legal regulations.
Could you please provide clarity on this matter or offer guidance?
Any detailed response or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Dear questioner, these matters fall under the name of fraud crimes. For example, these crimes are punishable by the law of the United Arab Emirates with imprisonment or a fine.

Hi,
It is highly illegal to perform licensed activities without the concerned license in the United Arab Emirates.
As you have heard, law firms themselves will not be able to sue other finance advisors for 'fraud' and 'default'.
Since they are not the concerned party, they are unable to bring proceedings. However, if you wish to pursue litigation against said finance advisors, we should be able to assist you and bring it on your behalf.
We offer fully comprehensive services, where we undertake everything from sending a legal notice, case filings, and execution to receiving judgment. Should you require these services, do not hesitate to contact us on WhatsApp.
Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding the safeguards in UAE law against fraudulent financial advisors and the regulatory requirements they must meet.
In the UAE, financial advisors are required to obtain proper licensing to operate legally. This usually involves approval from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) or the Central Bank of the UAE, depending on the nature of their services.
Operating without these licenses is illegal, and any financial advisory activity without proper authorization can be subject to legal action.
Contrary to what you might have heard, law firms do indeed have the authority to file cases against financial advisors who operate without a legal license.
If a financial advisor has engaged in fraudulent activities or has defaulted on funds, you have the right to pursue legal action to seek redress.
I can provide you with detailed guidance and support to navigate this complex issue. By appointing me as your attorney, I can help you understand your legal options and represent you in any necessary legal proceedings to protect your interests.
To discuss your case further, please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone. Alternatively, you can email me.

Dear Questioner,
Please be informed that financial advisors in the UAE must be licensed by the SCA and cannot act as financial advisors without prior approval from the SCA.
As for law firms and their authority to file cases against financial advisors, we are not aware of any laws that prohibit law firms from suing any financial advisors, or any other kind of advisors.
If you have been a victim of fraudulent investment advice provided by your financial advisor, and you have well-documented proof of the above-mentioned, then you can sue the financial advisor by filing lawsuit in the court of jurisdiction in the regular standard procedure followed with regard to all other commercial cases.
If this financial advisor was providing you with financial advice without the required license from the regulators, then this fact will only support your case and make the courts more lenient toward rendering a judgment in your favor.
