Q: Hello Dear, I’m a PR agency based in Paris (France) and I worked with a brand based in Dubai. I signed an agreement with the brand for a celebrity placement, I did my job very well because the press impact was huge and now the brand refused to pay me. Can you please tell me what can I do to be paid? Because I work alone in my PR agency, my legal status is auto-entrepreneur and the brand in Dubai is a society. They are more powerful and rich than me. Thank you so much for your help. Best, N.K.

Q: Hello, Two of my legal entities have provided services to a Dubai-based company [-----]. For over a year now, I've been trying to get this company to pay my invoices. The company does not dispute the invoices but always pretends that the invoices have been paid and produces meaningless proof that payments were made (whereas no payments have been made). Our agreement for the services was oral but has said the company does not dispute the need to pay but just does not. What legal options do I have? I am based in the Netherlands. Kind regards, D.
