I am writing to seek your legal expertise and advice on a pressing issue concerning a property sale transaction that my brokerage company has facilitated. Here are the details: Our brokerage company represented the seller in a property sale where the property was sold with an existing rental agreement in place. As per the terms of the agreement, the rental balance was supposed to be given to the buyer, who is now the new owner of the property. In this transaction, our company is entitled to a 40% commission, and the buyer's brokerage company is entitled to 60%. However, the buyer's brokerage company, which has complete control over the buyer's funds, has transferred the entire 100% commission to their own account. They are currently withholding this commission, stating that they will release it once the rental balance is paid to the buyer. Unfortunately, we have lost contact with the buyer, as he has blocked the seller's agent, making it impossible for us to fulfill this condition.

I want to be a lawyer and study law in the UK. I am a UAE national but I am worried about studying outside the UAE and not being able to actually become a lawyer in the UAE. Do I really need to study in the UAE to become a lawyer here?

Dear Sir I applied for Canada AIPP programs from one of the consultancy agencies in Dubai in 2021, and they told me it would take 1 year for the process. Now it’s more than 2 years. They told me they were applying for me these years but I didn’t get any response from any company, and when I asked them to tell me where they applied, they told me it's confidential. Now I told them to stop my process and they will refund my money but it will be very much less as per them. Please let me know how I can get my money as I paid almost AED 9000 or how I can proceed legally.

Hi I have been working in a company under a local sponsor with 2 partners for the last 6 years and my visa will expire next month. However, my company has informed me that they shall transfer my visa to their other company with the same OWNER with a new partner (without a local sponsor). In this situation, what do I need to do? Will my previous gratuity be added to my new visa or do I need to take my end-of-service benefits and work as a new employee? Kindly suggest.

Hi, We bought an apartment in July. The apartment is rented until the end of November with the previous landlord who gave them an eviction notice last year to sell the house. Now they want to renew the contract but we don’t want to renew because we want to move into our apartment to live there. Can we move into our apartment and the tenant has to go out? Can the tenant refuse to move out?

As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone, Please advise me on where I can find an affordable family lawyer. I'm only earning less than 5k AED monthly. I really want to apply for modification of the agreement for my 3-year-old daughter, but my ex-wife is not responding or cooperating, assuming she wants to retain the current agreement for 3 hours per week. I want to enforce my role as a guardian of my child and modify the agreement for more time and to be more included in the decision-making for her well-being.

Hello, My ID will expire on 14th May. The company is blocked. I want to change my status. How can I do this?

Sir, As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months. The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn't mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure. So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.
