BaghdadiLaw’s experience in company liquidation in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to company liquidation, combining detailed knowledge of asset identification, outstanding liabilities and the competing interests of shareholders and creditors. Closing a UAE company requires more than stopping trade. The liquidation review connects the corporate decision with outstanding contracts, employee and creditor liabilities, assets and the registration steps relevant to the company's licensing authority.
UAE company liquidation concerns realising assets, addressing liabilities and completing the company's closure. A trade licence cancellation is not a complete account of winding up; insolvency indicators require consideration of Law 51/2023 rather than a solvent-liquidation assumption. List outstanding contracts, employee and creditor obligations, assets and company records. Closing operations and completing the legal winding-up record are separate practical tasks.
We agree the work your matter needs: Use an orderly solvent closure only after liabilities and contingent claims are accounted for. If assets or cash flow cannot support obligations, assess the applicable distress procedure; shareholder agreement to close does not resolve creditor treatment. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A closure checklist identifying unresolved obligations, asset-realisation questions and the documents needed to coordinate the liquidation and registry process.

Before requesting advice on company liquidation in the UAE
Can remaining assets be distributed before liabilities are reconciled?+
Review creditor claims, employee dues, guarantees and pending disputes before proposing a distribution. The liquidation plan should identify the responsible decision-maker and the required sequence rather than treating the bank balance as freely distributable cash.
Can shareholders distribute remaining cash before checking debts?+
Creditor and contingent liabilities must be assessed before treating funds as available for distribution.
What records should survive closure?+
Identify retention, outstanding claims and custody of the company's books in the closure plan.
