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

Customized agreement with the supplier


2
Q: Hi,
I have a company that designs and manufactures solar powered products. I do the design and the products are manufactured by local workshops. I would like to draw a contract/agreement with the workshop to guarantee the work for my client. I would like this to be legally binding.
Q1: How can I make this agreement legally binding so the supplier can fix any problems with the product should any come up?
Q2: How much will it cost to draw this agreement if I provide all the details related to what may go wrong with the workshop craftsmanship?
In fact, all I need is to take the details I will supply and make the agreement professional.
Thanks,
Ali

1
Q: Hello,
My company is developing a real estate project and we are signing NDAs with many vendors and potential clients.
I wanted to ask if it is necessary to get the NDAs attested by Notary Public.
In case there is a conflict and the case goes to court, can we present the NDA (which is not attested) to the court?
Please advise on the same.
Many thanks in advance!

Asking an employee to sign an NDA before leaving the company

3
Q: Hi,
I have recently resigned from my job. Two days before my last day, my company made an NDA that says that I cannot join the same field of work or join any competitor for the next five years.
I have worked 8 years+ in that field.
Note: NDA was not there when I joined the company. They just made it prior to my leave.
So in this situation, can I start my own business?

Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
