Liquidation of the company in the UAE
The liquidation of a company is a complex and important legal process that requires the exact fulfillment of all legal requirements. In this article, we will consider the main aspects of the company liquidation procedure in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), paying attention to legal norms, stages of the process and features compared to other jurisdictions.
Legal framework for liquidation of companies in the UAE
In the UAE, the liquidation of companies is regulated by a set of legislative acts that establish rules and procedures for the termination of the activities of enterprises.
The main legal acts that apply to the liquidation of companies in the UAE are:

Companies Act
- This law regulates in detail the structure and governance of companies in the UAE.
- It defines liquidation procedures, obligations of liquidators and owners of companies during this process.
Department of Economic Development (DED) requirements
- DED plays a key role in business registration and supervision of its activities in the UAE.
- The department also establishes requirements for the liquidation of companies and provides the necessary documents and forms for this process.
The legal framework for the liquidation of companies in the United Arab Emirates is clearly defined and includes a number of key pieces of legislation.
Understanding and complying with these acts during the liquidation process is critical to ensuring its successful completion.
Stages of company liquidation in the UAE
Making a decision on liquidation
- The decision to liquidate is usually made by the company’s owners or shareholders at a general meeting.
- If the company has debts, it is necessary to resolve their settlement before starting the liquidation procedure.
Appointment of liquidator
- A liquidator is usually appointed by the company’s owners or by court order if necessary.
- The liquidator is responsible for managing the liquidation process and fulfilling all legal requirements.
Legal formalities and notices

Distribution of assets
- After all debts are paid, the remaining assets are distributed among the shareholders or other participants of the company according to their shares in the capital.
Alienation of corporate rights
Transfer of ownership
- The process of transferring corporate rights can include the sale of shares, the exchange of shares, or the transfer of inheritance.
- Corporate rights can be exchanged for shares or shares of another company in a merger or acquisition
