BaghdadiLaw’s experience in share transfers and company ownership changes in Syria
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to share transfers and company ownership changes, with detailed knowledge of the sale agreement, transfer restrictions, approvals and ownership records. A change in ownership of a Syrian company can affect control without changing the company’s contracts or liabilities. Where it operates an investment project, the share transaction must also be compared with the project approval and any relevant sector conditions.
Companies Law 29/2011 distinguishes transfer rules by company form. Article 66 addresses LLC transfers, their entry in the partners’ register and preferential purchase rights under the company arrangements. These historical rules must be checked against current law and the actual constitution. Investment or sector approvals may add separate conditions; payment and a sale agreement do not alone resolve them. Compare the seller’s claimed holding with the registry, encumbrances and earlier transfers. Distinguish company debt from a seller warranty and record how unresolved liabilities affect price or completion.
We agree the work your matter needs: Use conditional completion, obtain missing consents, revise warranties or reconsider the transaction if ownership or approval cannot be substantiated. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A transfer-condition checklist, ownership verification questions and completion-document review.

Before requesting advice on share transfers and company ownership changes in Syria
Does paying for the shares complete every required change?+
Payment, corporate approval, transfer documentation and updating the relevant records are separate completion questions. List each condition and identify which party supplies the evidence that it has been met.
Does buying shares mean buying selected assets only?+
No. Examine what remains within the company, including liabilities and commitments, rather than reviewing asset value alone.
Should management authority change at the same time?+
Document the intended appointment and signatory changes separately so control follows the agreed completion plan.
