These are the kinds of problems people bring to a lawyer in Sharjah, and what MBM does about each one. The list is not complete, and the first consultation tells you whether your matter fits and in which forum it belongs.
Sharjah rental dispute lawyer: landlords and tenants
A Sharjah rental dispute lawyer helps when a tenancy goes wrong: a landlord who wants the tenant out, a tenant who disputes a rent increase or a deposit, rent that has not been paid, or a contract that is unclear. Because Sharjah has its own distinct framework, we begin with where the property is and what the contract and the notice actually say.
What we handle:
- Reading the tenancy contract and any eviction or rent increase notice.
- Deposits, repairs and early termination disputes.
- Unpaid rent claims for landlords and defences for tenants.
- Negotiated exits and settlements where that is sensible.
- Taking the matter to the right authority or court where it cannot be settled.
See tenant lawyer, landlord lawyer and eviction lawyer for how we work on each side of a tenancy.
Sharjah labour lawyer: employees and employers
A Sharjah labour lawyer helps employees who have not been paid, have been dismissed or are owed end-of-service money, and helps employers who face a complaint, need to end a contract properly or want their employment documents checked. A labour matter often starts with a complaint to the labour authority and may then move to a labour court.
What we handle:
- Unpaid salary and end-of-service claims.
- Termination, resignation and notice questions.
- Responding to a labour complaint as an employer.
- Reviewing employment contracts and settlement papers before you sign.
- Labour court cases where a complaint is not resolved.
See labour lawyer, employee rights lawyer and employment lawyer for employers.
Sharjah criminal lawyer: police, Public Prosecution and court
A Sharjah criminal lawyer is for the moment the police or Public Prosecution contact you, or a member of your family. The most important advice is also the simplest: speak to a lawyer before your next step, including before any interview or statement, and do not delete anything. Criminal matters are handled with discretion from the first call.
What we handle:
- Advice before a police or Public Prosecution interview.
- Defence during an investigation and at trial.
- Bail, travel ban and release questions.
- Appeals against a conviction or sentence.
- Related civil claims that arise from the same facts.

Sharjah property lawyer: buying, selling and owning
A Sharjah property lawyer is useful before you sign a sale and purchase agreement, when a handover is late, when ownership or a transfer is disputed or when a developer or neighbour is in conflict with you. Property rules are set locally, so we start with where the property is and what the documents say. MBM tells you at the first consultation whether a Sharjah property matter can be handled and how.
What we handle:
- Reviewing sale and purchase agreements before you sign.
- Delayed handover and off-plan disputes.
- Ownership, title and co-ownership problems.
- Construction and contractor disputes.
See real estate lawyer, property sale and purchase lawyer and off-plan property lawyer.
Sharjah court lawyer: civil claims, debts and cheques
A Sharjah court lawyer prepares and presents civil and commercial claims and defences: money owed, contracts not honoured, compensation and returned cheques. As we understand it, since the 2022 changes a returned cheque is generally a civil matter that can be enforced directly through the Execution Court, and criminal liability remains only in specified cases such as fraud or bad faith. The position depends on the facts, so we confirm it at your first consultation.
What we handle:
- Letters before action and settlement negotiations.
- Filing and defending civil claims.
- Returned cheque cases, for the person who holds the cheque and for the person who issued it.
- Enforcing a judgment against a debtor who does not pay.
- Debt on your side: loan, credit card and settlement talks for individuals and businesses.

Legal consultant in Sharjah: advice for business owners
Business owners who search "legal consultant Sharjah" usually want someone to call before a problem becomes a dispute. MBM advises on contracts, shareholder arrangements, closing a company and day-to-day questions, and can act as liquidator or advise the liquidator for solvent and insolvent companies. Having a company lawyer in Sharjah to call when a contract arrives for signature is often the simplest protection, and companies that want continuous access to advice can look at retainer legal services.
