Representative Matters

• Copyright Infringement of a Celebrity

  It may be tempting to use a celebrity’s photograph to endorse your own business, but doing so without considering the celebrity’s “image rights” first may lead to legal problems. A large MENA company used our client images for promoting their business. We were able to reach an undisclosed settlement.

• Whistleblower Fired for Exposing the Truth

  An employee, who spoke up about misconduct activities by his employer, got fired. A large MENA company got very upset after their employee spoke up about misconduct activities. They threatened him that if he does not sign a clearance letter (with a letter from him saying that what he said was incorrect), they will ban him from travel and report him as a criminal, and eventually, they did. He was stuck for 3 months in Riyadh, not knowing what to do. We were able to convince his employer to drop the false criminal charges and remove the travel ban. We reached a settlement agreement. Our client went back to his home country safely.

• A Battle Over Agents’ Commission

  Buyer refused to pay commission to the agent. Our client (the agent) had an oral agreement with a buyer (large construction company). The agent negotiated the terms of a large deal and was promised a commission of $10 million dollars on closing the deal. The deal got closed and the agent never got paid.
