Q: A Filipino expat has a company visa with designation "Office Clerk" with a salary of 2,500AED which is expiring in August.
The company owner has run away from the UAE so the court will have to cancel this visa. Apparently, there will be an automatic labour ban for 1 year.
I want to hire the person in my own company in Dubai. Is there any way to lift this labour ban?

Drafting terms and conditions for a startup website 0
Dears,
I'm currently working on a startup website which follows the Youtube model (pay users for their contribution) based on the effect of the contribution on the society and community.
I would like some help in writing the terms and conditions for the website. Do you advise that we draft the T&C and then it is reviewed by a legal team or should be written by a legal team from the beginning?
Could you give a rough figure or range on what to expect for the cost of such a service?
