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?

I am seeking legal advice regarding a chargeback/fraud issue initiated by a customer who has reversed payments for products/services that were fully delivered.

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?

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?

Hello, In short, I have an issue with [-----] Properties as an owner in [-----]. They want to impose on me fines and huge additional charges (over 40,000 AED) for modifications that were executed before I purchased the property, and after they have provided a NOC. They have also been absent for over 2 months and have not replied to my questions. I would like to know what my options are, what the risks are if I ignore their demand, and any other relevant information on the topic. Thank you in advance!

I did an offer and deposit case on 18 February 2025 to renew the Ejari at the same rate of AED 80,000 with 4 cheques. Expiry date of previous Ejari was 24 February 2025. I got Ejari from RDC, and everything was smooth for the year 25/26. However, the bank had our cheque returned due to an irregular signature. As the landlord, which is a property management company, has a bully lawyer, he didn't want to accept cash nor a bank transfer, or another cheque. So I had to do another offer and deposit case on top of the one I did on 18th February. The lawyer of the landlord has sent me an eviction notice stating it is not legally permissible for me to link the new offer and deposit to pay the 20,000 AED installment from 25 August 2025 to 24 November 2025. However, the RDC judge had approved my offer and deposit and sent me a pay order, which I have paid. I want to know whether this eviction will stand, as RDC will only give this cash to the landlord, or if they need NOC from the landlord to return the money to me. Kindly help

​Hello, I am seeking clarification on the execution process for a judgment issued by the Dubai Courts. ​The case (No. [---/---]) is for the execution of a personal status judgment for non-Muslims (No. [---/---]). The judgment includes both a monetary award and a separate, non-monetary order (to provide a visa). ​The execution for the monetary part is currently pending as the court's system is waiting for an exact final amount to be calculated by the accounts department. ​I have been told that because the monetary amount is part of the same judgment, the non-monetary visa order cannot be pursued separately until the monetary calculation is complete. ​Is this correct? In the Dubai Courts, are the enforcement processes for monetary and non-monetary orders dependent on each other, or can they be pursued at the same time?

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.
