I hope you're doing good.
I'm contacting you through https://legaladviceme.com/.
My Query is: I'm under a probation period of 6 months with a company based in DMCC, JLT, Dubai. I have an offer letter from a company based in Mainland Dubai.
If I resign from my current employer and accept the offer in the mainland, will there be a chance of any ban or penalty?

View allHow to get the security deposit from landlord after finishing all proceedings? 0
The landlord has not returned my security deposit worth AED 5000. I filed a case and have judicial announcements that the landlord should return deposit+expenses. But still no response.
The landlord is out of the UAE and his property is handled by the agent. Not sure how to get my money back while I followed all procedures, even filed an execution case but no response.
While I keep paying to follow up on the case, the property is rented out to the next tenant and earning money. I feel like this system is created like this on purpose.

Is it possible for the employer to drop a case filed by employee in free zone? 0
I filed a complaint to SHAMS regarding unpaid salaries.
My employer drafted a contract saying I should drop the complaint within a week. If I fail to do so, they have the right to do it themselves.
Is this acceptable?

Winding down an LLC company and the liability of the manager after absconding 0
Hi there Michael,
I am a 24% shareholder in an LLC wherein the other shareholders are our local partner with 51% shares and the partner who is listed as manager on the trade license with 25% shares.
The manager has absconded leaving behind unpaid VAT and other debts that are well over 30 days due (up to a year). No proceedings by creditors have been filed against the company and the MOA contains a general POA in favor of the Manager.
I would like to wind down the company without going through bankruptcy procedures. My understanding is that the listed manager of an LLC is personally liable for the Company's debts.
I need advice about the procedures required to wind down the company. I do not wish to go through bankruptcy procedures as the finances and management of the company were being handled by the manager. I am just the creative director of the LLC.
Please advise as soon as possible.
