LLC company incorporation in Dubai by Syrian nationals
Q: Hello,I am a Syrian citizen living in Dubai for more than 13 years with valid resident visa and I would like to open a new LLC company in Dubai along with a local UAE sponsor (49% my share, 51% for the local sponsor). The company will offer and sell IT services/products (commercial license).I have the following questions:1 - Is it true that Syrians are mostly denied by DED due to security restrictions? Do you know any of your Syrian clients who received a license from DED recently? Are there any measures that I could take to improve my chances?2 - In case I had to issue a license under the UAE sponsor so he becomes 100% owner of my company (do I have another choice?) what are the legal steps that I should take to protect my rights? Would a strong power of attorney be sufficient?Thanks.

Employment dispute assistance
Q: I started working with a developer`s hotels & resorts on Aug 17, 2015, as Director of Digital. They hired another Digital Director in early April. I was terminated July 28th. I have refused to sign the letter as I was going to Ireland that afternoon. I contacted them 2 days after and I advised that I would sign the letter based on the following: * Full payment of 30 days notice & holidays owed. * Full payment of yearly bonus, which, unfortunately, I had to learn after the payment of bonus to other staff members management did not approve. No reason was given for this. * Payment of value of flight home per year of completion of 1 year. * Payment for flight changes in December 2015 as per management request - AED 4K. * Gratuity payment as per UAE employment law.No response has been forthcoming. Am I better to go legal and just deal with them directly through a legal team? Should I go to Ministry of Labour? Any advice on a good employment law specialist would be most grateful.Sep 6, 2016

Liability for the unpaid loan
Q: I was jailed for 4 months for not being able to pay a loan from a Dubai bank since I`ve lost my job in 2011. After my release, I tried looking for a job but was unsuccessful, so I went back to my home country when my visa expired but still the bank is sending emails and threatening me and wants to collect money from me. Now that I am back here in Dubai, they threatened to file a ban against me and told me that I cannot get my visa renewed if I will not pay them. Can the bank do such THING? I already have accepted the punishment of serving jail time since during that time I didn`t have a JOB and was totally broke. What can I do so that they will stop harassing me? What does the law say if someone had served the sentence for a bouncing check case? Thanks and hoping to be enlightened.Jul 25, 2016
