Hi, I need to hire a property lawyer. I have purchased a property that is still under construction. The handover was supposed to be May 2018 and it has been delayed for over 18 months. Can you please advise what is the average fee to the lawyer and any upcoming fees? I would like to either receive compensation for the delay or terminate the SPA and receive what I have paid. Thanks

What are the important things that should be stated in the letter?

I am a non-Muslim Indian woman. I discovered that my husband is having an affair with another woman. I know it is a criminal offense in the UAE and I want to know about the punishment for such an offense. I would also like to know what kind of evidence is required to file a criminal case? We both share the same laptop at home and the screen was not clear so I took a backup of the pictures where I have my marriage pictures and also my daughter's pictures. In that, I have found an adultery video of my husband with a woman, close pictures, and some messages. Once I spoke to him about it, he broke the laptop but I have those pictures with me. Please help me!

I have a small company of 4 people. One of my oldest staff who has worked for 11 years is leaving. He handles 80% of my clients and work. Without proof, I know he is going to open his firm. I don't want to harm him but I want to secure my clients. Is it legally okay for me to make him sign a contract that he cannot approach my clients in the near future? If yes, then what will be the procedure? Do I have to go to the notary to make this contract valid?
