We are forming a joint venture involving multiple investors and need a shareholders agreement

Q: We are forming a joint venture involving multiple investors from different Emirates and countries. The shareholders’ agreement should address capital contributions, profit-sharing, voting procedures for key strategic decisions, rights to board representation, restrictions on transferring shares to third parties, and an arbitration process in case of disputes. Can your legal office draft a bilingual agreement that is fully enforceable under UAE federal and Emirate-specific corporate laws?

My bank accounts were blocked in the execution of cheque criminal cases. How to unblock them?

Q: I urgently need legal assistance in Dubai. I`m facing multiple execution cases, a criminal complaint for a bounced cheque, and several personal debts under agreements. The total amount is around AED 500,000. Due to execution orders, my UAE bank accounts are blocked, some with negative balances from cheque enforcement, making it impossible to use them for settlements. I do have international accounts and can withdraw up to AED 35,000 per day, of which I am ready to allocate AED 30,000 daily for settlements and legal fees. I am looking for a licensed lawyer or firm that can represent me in all these cases, negotiate with creditors, assist in making payments (either via courts, banks, or through your office), and provide a clear roadmap to resolve everything. I also need guidance on how long banks will take to unblock accounts and clear negative balances after settlement. If I pay the bank directly, will the accounts be immediately restored and cases closed? Please share your fee estimate.

How can I close my free zone company if it has never been operational?

Q: I opened my company in a free zone last year with a third-party agent (e-commerce). It was registered for corporate tax, and I got the visa and the Emirates ID, but the company hasn`t been operational, and didn`t get a bank account. Now I got a notification that my trade license is expiring soon. I contacted a third party, and they quoted me 8,500 USD (AED 31,000) for renewal. I said, since I`m not in the UAE and not going to do any business in the UAE, I want to close it. They quoted 9,000 USD (AED 33,000) for closing, with prices like "publications in newspaper" for 1,000 USD. I found their prices unreasonably high and wanted to proceed with another company that quoted the same process for AED 5,000. I also contacted IFZA Freezone to ask how much it will cost to work with them directly, but I`m constantly being pushed by the free zone to work with an agent. I asked the agent for an NOC certificate, and they quoted it for 3,000 USD. I want to know what my rights are in all this? Should I just pay whatever price they ask for?

The bank is not lifting my travel ban despite my fulfillment of the settlement agreement. What to do?

Q: Good day, I am writing to respectfully seek your assistance regarding the lifting of my travel ban. I have been following up with the bank for over two months and, as instructed, filed a court petition, which is still pending. As per Clause 4 of the signed settlement agreement, the travel ban should be lifted after six consecutive salary transfers and payments, along with submission of an employment letter or salary certificate. I provided the bank with my employment letter and an official company email confirming the salary transfer issue due to a company labor dispute. Despite this, and after making consistent EMI payments for two years, I am now being asked for documents not included in the agreement, such as a new labor contract, salary transfer letter, and six-month bank statements. I have now raised this matter with the Head of Collections and copied the CEO, and I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this issue as per the terms of the signed agreement.

Is it legal for the real estate agent to add administrative fees while signing the contract and on each renewal?

Legal advice needed on out-pass exit permit & spouse visa process

Q: Subject: Hello, My name is M. R. F. Z., a Sri Lankan national currently in Dubai. I urgently require legal guidance regarding my immigration status and next steps. Briefly: An out-pass was issued without my knowledge due to visa complications. I need to exit the UAE on this out-pass and explore options to return on a visit visa, then adjust status to a spouse residence visa (by status change). I am uncertain whether it is mandatory for me to fly back to Sri Lanka, or if I can exit to a nearby country such as Oman or another GCC country and re-enter for the spouse visa process. Due to family circumstances, it is very difficult for me to travel to Sri Lanka at this time, so I would strongly prefer the nearest country option if legally possible. Could you please let me know if your firm handles such cases? If so, what is your consultation fee and availability for an initial discussion?

My roommate assaulted me and tried to strangle me then she called the police claiming I attacked her. What to do?

Q: I fought with my roommate. She started the fight by banging my head against the wall and strangling my neck. I was unable to breathe and remove her hands, so in order to save myself, I bit her hand. I was new in the UAE and didn’t know how to call the police. But she, being well aware of this, called the police, and the police are accusing me that you hit her, saying she had wounds. But my right eye is under treatment, and I can’t see properly from that eye. My face has all wounds.

I got involved in a bar fight and wrongfully accused of assault and other charges. What to do?

Q: I have a misdemeanor case under investigation. What can I do and what can I expect? I got involved in a bar fight when my friend was punched in the face by the complainant. When I was about to approach him to ask him about it, he shoved me in the head. I lost balance and I grabbed him, and we both fell down, then my friend and his colleagues started beating him. CID called me for an interview, telling me that the guy complained about his watch, which I didn`t steal. Then he also complained about the harassment. Which I didn`t do as well. Now, the report is saying that I have charges of indecent assault, public intoxication, causing a riot, and public cursing. Please help me decide what to do! I`m considering hiring a criminal lawyer to help me with this.

I got deported after I was caught working on visit visa due to delaying my employment visa. Can I lift the ban?

Q: Sir, I came to Dubai in 2011 on a visit visa and got a job in a company in Dubai, which delayed my employment visa. One day, a government representative visited our office and took my passport. Later on, I was deported and got a ban forever, although I paid an AED 1000 fine as well. Is there a way to lift this ban, as I didn`t commit any crime? It`s just because of that company that delayed my visa. Please suggest.

My father left the UAE and left his car with his cousin to continue loan payments. How to check his status?

Q: Dear Sir/Ma`am, I am planning to bring my father to Dubai for a visit. He left Dubai in 2009 due to serious medical reasons and left his car with his cousin, with an outstanding bank installment for the car, which was around AED 10,000. We subsequently cancelled his visa. It has been over 10 years, and I am concerned about potential fines or travel bans, as we are unsure if the remaining car payments were completed by his cousin. We are not on speaking terms with his cousin, so I cannot confirm this. I found that checking fines or travel bans usually requires an Emirates ID, but my father left Dubai before Emirates IDs were introduced and only has his passport. The company he worked for also no longer exists. Could you please advise if there is another way to check for fines? Kind regards!
