The eligibility of a 19 year-old person to sign an MOU
5
Q: Hello,
I am 19 years old. I have tried to sell my apartment in Dubai. I and my mother have signed MOU. But no one had the right to sell the apartment.
Only my grandfather can sell it because he is a guardian. In Trakhees office, they didn't allow me to sell. Now the buyer wants 116.5k AED from me because I didn't finish in time. I can't pay. Is the MOU invalid because my grandfather didn't sign it?

Can you enter Dubai if you leave a GCC country with possible civil and criminal cases? 0
Hi Hayyan,
In 2014 I had been to Qatar on a "Work-Business" visa valid for 30 days. Before my visa expiration, I fled from Qatar back to India without informing the sponsor or office management.
After I returned to India, I received an email from HR stating that the Qatari sponsor has filed an absconding case, a civil case, and a criminal case against me with the Ministry of Interior in Qatar.
Now my question is, can I travel to Dubai on a work visa?
Will there be any issue entering Dubai assuming that the Qatari sponsor has filed the said cases against me?
Awaiting your response,
H.
Currently staying in India.

Drafting an agreement between an auto service marketplace and service providers 2
Hi Mohammed,
We are a tech startup creating an auto service and repair marketplace. As a marketplace, we only facilitate listing and booking the services while the service providers (the workshops) are the service providers and are responsible to deliver and carry the selected/booked job.
We need to draft a marketplace supplier/service provider agreement between us and the workshops outlining the responsibilities and liabilities of both sides. I would like to work with a law firm that has previous experience in drafting such marketplace-related agreements.
Is this something you can work on and have previous experience in?
