Confidential Consultation · EN, AR & RU

Clear corporate governance helps define authority, decision-making, shareholder rights and management responsibilities within a company.

Our corporate lawyers advise UAE companies, shareholders and directors on board governance, corporate approvals, governance documents and ongoing corporate records.

Overview

What Are Corporate Governance Services?

Corporate governance services help companies define how decisions are made, who has authority, and how shareholder, board and management responsibilities are documented.

Our lawyers advise on board governance, shareholder rights, corporate approvals, MOA/AOA provisions and governance documents based on the company’s legal structure and jurisdiction.

We also assist with resolutions, management authority and corporate records when ownership, directors or company structures change.

frequently asked questions

What are corporate governance services?

Corporate governance services help companies structure decision-making, authority and oversight. They may include advice on shareholder rights, board powers, management authority, resolutions and governance documents.

No. Requirements vary depending on the company’s legal form, jurisdiction, regulatory status and constitutional documents. Public joint-stock companies may also be subject to SCA governance requirements.

A corporate governance lawyer advises on how authority is allocated within the company and helps prepare or review the documents and approvals needed to support corporate decisions.

Directors’ duties depend on the company’s legal framework and governing documents. Their responsibilities can include exercising authority properly, following required approval procedures and maintaining appropriate corporate records.

Shareholders may approve certain company matters, exercise voting rights and participate in decisions reserved to them under applicable law or the company’s constitutional documents.

Resolutions formally record corporate decisions. Before preparing one, the company should confirm whether the matter requires board, shareholder or another level of approval.

Depending on the company, these may include the MOA, AOA, board and shareholder resolutions, director or manager appointment records, signatory authorities and other corporate records.

Yes. DIFC and ADGM operate under their own company-law frameworks, so governance and filing requirements can differ from those applying to other UAE companies.
