An equal partner is being maltreated by other partners. What to do?
Q: Hello sir/madam, Perhaps you can help me! I am an equal partner in an LLC company. There are in total 3 partners. All of us are equal on the MOE (we are all managers). While I was away on a vacation, the partners got together to try to push me out. They have done this by trying to make my life an uncomfortable nightmare in the office, blocking my work, started hiding emails, and instructing an employee of ours to do the same. They also fired our accountant and moved our 4 years of books to a new accountant, who I`ve been told by them is "cleaning up". For 5 months, I`ve been getting excuses on why I have not been given access codes to see the new books or bank statements, etc. I`m locked out of various platforms. I am very worried now as I`m also responsible for what they do. They cannot buy my shares and I am concerned that they are scheming a way to get rid of me in another way. Can they shut down and open again for instance? What can you suggest about my rights here? Thank you! Questions & Answers

The liability of a manager for bank loans after resignation
Q: Dear sir/madam, Please advise me in regards to my commercial banks! A partial case in Dubai Courts in which my company (first defendant) took a property loan from a bank (plaintiff) in January 2015. I had signed all bank-related documents including the personal guaranty form as a manager (second defendant) of the company holding 40% shares along with my partner (third defendant) holding 60% shares in a Free Zone Company. I was asked to resign with immediate effect in December 2016 and left the company completing all necessary handovers of 40% shares to a natural person. I hold all transfer documents attested by the free zone authority and their legal translation which were submitted to the court as a memorandum. Today was my first hearing and the court decided and ended the litigation obligating all defendants jointly and severally to pay the balance amount to the plaintiff and 5% legal interest and attorneys fees. Please advise on the next procedure I can follow to request the court to remove my name. Should I approach the bank? Questions & Answers

How can a victim of a crypto scam claim his money back?
Q: Good day, We are a group of people and residents of the UAE who invested in an international company that called themselves an investing company and promised their investors a big return. In the end, we realized that the company was a scheme/pyramid, but unfortunately, it was late as we faced a company scam. And we lost a lot of money. Cases were opened all over the world against them. The leaders of the company who called them "10* stars" were residents of the UAE; some of them still live here and they introduced us to Finiko schemes. We need advice on where to start the case in the UAE and what is the right department to go to as the partners who were the main people of the company are hiding in the UAE with all the money? Kindly note that all investments were done by crypto in bitcoin currency. All victims have the evidence. We have sent complaints to e-crime, but the applications of all the victims got rejected and we cannot understand why. Thanks in advance! Questions & Answers

Is a manager of an LLC company personally liable for paying the rights of an employee?
Q: Dear sir/madam, I am a partner and a manager of a Dubai-based LLC. We lost a court case against our previous employee with 100k. The company does not have money to pay. I asked two lawyers if I am personally liable, one lawyer said no, and the other lawyer said that the judge can even arrest me or place a travel ban on me. I had the full authorization of any documents, bank transactions, or business activities. Everything was 100% on me only. Now I am totally lost on which lawyer to trust and to believe. Could someone kindly get back to me with a third opinion? Questions & Answers

The consequences of non-attendance of a court case
Q: Dear sir/madam, I have a case in the First Instance court against me. I am a UK resident with a UK Company. I`m being sued by a Dubai company (unfairly).
