BaghdadiLaw’s experience in commercial & corporate law in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to company and commercial matters, with detailed knowledge spanning contract drafting, shareholder rights, claims and defence. UAE commercial matters range from drafting a workable contract to resolving shareholder conflict or recovering an unpaid business debt. This hub connects the relevant specialist topics while distinguishing company, agency, trademark and insolvency rules that can change the legal approach.
UAE commercial work spans distinct federal regimes for transactions, companies, registered agencies, trademarks and financial distress. The correct category follows the actual disputed right and legal entity; mainland and financial-free-zone questions require separate assessment rather than one universal commercial procedure. Use contracts for drafting, performance or exit terms; company disputes for ownership and management disagreements; commercial instruments for cheques, notes and bills. A debt, company dispute or brand complaint can involve more than one subject, so identify the main outcome before choosing a claim.
We agree the work your matter needs: The review compares clarifying or amending the contract, a documented demand, negotiation or settlement, and any available dispute process. The suitable route depends on the evidence, agreed forum, objective and commercial relationship—not simply the amount claimed. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A commercial-matter assessment identifying the main legal issue, related risks and the documents needed for focused drafting, negotiation or dispute advice.

Before requesting advice on commercial & corporate law in the UAE
Which commercial service matches my business matter?+
Use contracts for drafting, performance or exit terms; company disputes for ownership and management disagreements; commercial instruments for cheques, notes and bills. A debt, company dispute or brand complaint can involve more than one subject, so identify the main outcome before choosing a claim.
Where should a dispute over a partner's use of company funds start?+
Company and partnership disputes, with authority and transaction records; a personal debt label may miss the entity's rights.
Should a returned cheque and an underlying supply dispute be connected?+
Yes, while keeping instrument enforceability and contractual merits distinct and preventing duplicate recovery.
