Q: To whom this may concern,
I am a Canadian citizen living in Al Ain city in the United Arab Emirates. I am currently thinking of starting an online business similar to "Talabat.com" if you know it except it will not be a food service. I have some people in mind that can work with me as freelancers but at the same time, I am wondering what are the rules to follow as an expat regarding this issue.
I don't know if I need to draft up contracts etc. I just want to be on the safe side. I'd love to hear back from you.
Regards,
M

The gaffe that most corporates indulge in is drafting important documents with major consequences themselves, by allotting the task to any distinguished practitioner within the organization, who may be an expert in some other field, only to cut down legal costs or some other reason known to them. Minor squabbles between human beings are but inevitable. Thereby drawing up intention between the parties clearly by way of agreements, and in writing, whilst in commercial trading is a prerequisite.

What to do if you received a call from a person claiming to be a lawyer 0
I received an unsolicited call on a Saturday night (6.06pm to be precise), on my mobile phone in my place of residence from a lawyer (think he's actually a partner) claiming to represent my ex-wife in a matter pertaining to a divorce agreement that was ratified in Zimbabwe at the end of August.
He threatened that the full force of his law firm will be thrown at me if I did not settle the monetary claim within 48 hours of our telephone discussion. 80% of the monetary amount in question was actually remitted that afternoon, prior to his call, which he didn't bother to inquire about.
There was no formal notification in writing that their services had indeed being retained by my ex-wife. I am not sure if he followed due process & his threats could be construed as coercion in a matter that was all but resolved.

Hello.
I would like to know if it is legal or illegal to contact my ex-husband's HR dept due to his refusal to pay for child support since the birth of our child (Age 16 now). He lives and works in Dubai.
I have remarried and have other children, moved to Abu Dhabi 1 1/2 yrs back and contacted him at his office. He has failed on every promise until now. I cant afford the high legal fees to file a case.
Please, let me know what are my options. Thanks.
