This practical two-hour course provides a clear overview of the UAE corporate law framework and the key legal principles governing companies and commercial activities. Participants will gain a practical understanding of company structures, corporate governance, directors’ and shareholders’ responsibilities, decision-making, and key compliance requirements.

Designed for legal professionals, business owners, managers, and corporate professionals, the course focuses on the legal concepts most relevant to day-to-day business operations and helps participants identify common corporate legal risks and make better-informed business decisions.

In this course We will explore the following topics:

First- Elements of the Muqawala contract including:
1- The mutual consent: Modalities of the mutual consent as the Employer may contract with the Contractor by negotiation or after a tender and the conditions of validity of the mutual consent, especially the Employer’s capacity, the Contractor’s capacity, and the validity of the mutual consent as the consent may be vitiated by duress, misrepresentation, obscene injustice or mistake in the person of the Contractor or a mistake in the account.
2- The object: The object of the Muqawala contract is double. It consists for the Contractor in the work to be performed, and for the Employer in the payment to be done to the Contractor.

Second – Effects of the Muqawala contract, including:
1- The Contractor’s three obligations, which are the completion of the work entrusted to him under the Muqawala contract, the handing over of the work after its completion and the guarantee of the work after its handover in addition to the sanction for breach of these duties.
2- The Employer’s obligations that include enabling the Contractor to complete the work, take over the work after its completion (including the terms of delivery, the place and time of delivery, the form of delivery, the legal effects of delivery and the sanction related to delivery), and payment (including how to determine the amount to be paid in the absence of any agreement in this respect – the time of payment – the place of payment – payment guarantees).

Third – The Subcontractor: A distinction will be made between the subcontracting and the assignment of the Muqawala. Then the relationship between the Main Contractor and the Subcontractor will be discussed as well as the Subcontractor’s relationship with the Employer.

Fourth – Expiry of the Muqawala contract including the usual expiry cases (i.e. execution the contract and the expiry of its period) and the unusual expiry cases (i.e. the case of the impossibility of execution, annulment, revocation, the death of the Employer, the death of the Contractor and the Employer’s unilateral termination of the contract).

Applicable decisions of the courts in the United Arab Emirates regarding joint ownership will be referred to and discussed.
