A “share sale” is the transfer of ownership rights in a UAE company from one shareholder to another, typically executed in a limited liability company (LLC), free zone, or offshore structure. “Share amendment” refers to legal changes in shareholding structure, such as changing the number of shares, altering ownership percentages, adding/removing partners, or capital restructuring—often requiring a formal amendment to the company’s Memorandum of Association (MOA).
Both actions must follow a specific legal process with proper documentation, government approvals, and notarized agreements to ensure full legality in Dubai and the UAE.
Why Are Share Sale and Amendment Services Needed?
- Buying or selling shares in a Dubai company
- Restructuring the company for new investors or partners
- Dividing/consolidating shares or changing share capital
- Complying with local and free zone regulations
- Enabling family business succession and inheritance transfers
- Facilitating corporate M&A, divestment, or exits
- Ensuring legal compliance and avoiding costly disputes
Without properly executed share sale/amendment, shareholders risk invalid deals, regulatory fines, business closure, or frozen bank accounts.

- Draft Agreements: Share Sale & Purchase Agreement and amendment to MOA (can be combined or separate as required).
