Resolving a Multi-Issue Legal Matter for a Family-Owned Business
Client:
Al Rafiq Trading LLC – Family-owned SME based in Sharjah, UAE
Legal Area:
General Legal Services (Contract Law, Employment Law, Commercial Dispute Resolution)
Background:
Al Rafiq Trading LLC approached Ahcene Law Firm during a challenging transition period. The business was dealing with three simultaneous legal issues:
- A breach of contract from a supplier based in Saudi Arabia.
- A labor dispute filed by a former employee over alleged unfair dismissal.
- Confusion over company restructuring and the validity of a shareholder agreement.
The client was overwhelmed and unsure which issue to prioritize or how to resolve the overlapping legal risks.
Legal Issues Identified:
A non-performing supplier failed to deliver goods worth AED 240,000 under a purchase agreement.
The former employee claimed unpaid commissions and arbitrary termination.
The shareholder agreement lacked proper notarization and created internal conflict during decision-making.
Ahcene Law Firm’s Approach:
Listening & Legal Roadmapping:
During the first consultation, our legal advisors conducted a comprehensive intake session. Instead of addressing issues in isolation, we developed a customized legal roadmap to prioritize action and minimize overall business disruption.Contract Enforcement:
We reviewed the supplier contract, initiated cross-border correspondence, and coordinated with a legal partner in Saudi Arabia. This resulted in a negotiated return of partial funds and cancellation of the agreement without litigation.Employment Dispute Resolution:
Our employment law specialists responded to the MOHRE complaint, compiled evidence of proper procedures, and successfully reached an out-of-court settlement—saving the client time and potential reputational harm.Shareholder Agreement Rectification:
We drafted a new, UAE-compliant shareholder agreement, ensured notarization, and provided legal clarity on decision-making powers and profit-sharing.
