Client:
Al Rafiq Trading LLC – Family-owned SME based in Sharjah, UAE
Legal Area:

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.
