Q: I am opening a small restaurant in Abu Dhabi in partnership. Need a lawyer to draft a partnership contract who has done it for a restaurant partnership before.

Q: We want legal advice to take legal action against an Abu Dhabi based company. We are a USA based C-type Corporation, registered since 2004 in the USA, and paying taxes and contributing to the growth of the country. On 14/05/2010, we entered into a channel partner agreement with a medical supplies company in Abu Dhabi. The medical supplies company didn’t stop at this point and it gained access to our company intellectual property through gainfully employing our employees. The medical supplies company made several payment defaults and started controlling over the gain of the business that we are deriving from customers based in UAE. We were cheated by the Chairman & Director of the medical supplies company on payment defaults and control over the business gain for AED 3.31 million in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Law applies to merchants, as well as to all acts of commerce carried out in the UAE by any person even though he be not a trader. Commercial matters regarding which specific Federal laws are issued shall be subject to the provisions of such laws, and to the provisions hereof which do not contradict with said laws.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
