Dear Client,

Yes, you can take legal action against a former employee in the UAE if they are directing clients to other companies, especially if it violates non-compete, non-solicitation, or confidentiality clauses in their employment contract.

Steps may include sending a cease and desist letter, gathering evidence, and potentially filing a lawsuit for breach of contract or confidentiality.

For detailed legal advice and assistance, please contact us at [-------].

If you had a valid Non-Compete Clause in the employment contract, it could restrict the employee from working for a competitor or soliciting clients for a specific period.

You can take action against the former employee who violates this.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.
