Q: Hello. We supplied material to a company in Abu Dhabi, but now they are not paying the invoice. What to do? Please help.

Q: My firm (based in the UK) is owed $57,500 for providing materials and event management services for a Dubai-based business called International Premier Tennis League. They have failed to pay my invoice or any of the individual skilled craftsmen and technicians I recommended they hired to deliver the events which we delivered in December 2016. What I'd like to do is recover my money and possibly make sure that the business behaviour of the IPTL management team is not repeated (it must be a crime to commit business services to a project without ever having the means to pay for it). Any help or advice appreciated, please.

Q: I'm going to lend money to someone but I'm afraid they might travel. If we write a contract where he agrees to pay me back, how do I make this contract enforceable in any country the other party might be residing in? Can we write a clause that allows me to decide on the arbitrator? Thanks a lot for the help.
