BaghdadiLaw’s experience in corporate debt restructuring in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to corporate debt restructuring, with practical knowledge of creditor obligations, security and cash flow in a workable restructuring agreement. A UAE company's debt terms may become unworkable even where its operations remain viable. Restructuring analysis tests cash flow, creditor positions and proposed concessions before comparing a negotiated arrangement with a formal process.
UAE corporate restructuring under Law 51/2023 must be compared with a consensual lender workout. A viable cash-flow proposal, creditor composition and any formal proceedings shape the choice; the word restructuring does not itself create a moratorium or bind dissenting creditors. Compare repayment proposals with current cash flow, security and creditor positions. A workable schedule needs identified funding and assumptions, not only an extended final payment date.
We agree the work your matter needs: A private workout is viable where necessary creditors consent and funding is credible. If holdouts or collective effects prevent agreement, compare formal restructuring eligibility; neither route works on a forecast unsupported by operating and finance evidence. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A restructuring issues paper and proposed term sheet linking repayment assumptions to cash flow, security treatment and creditor consent requirements.

Before requesting advice on corporate debt restructuring in the UAE
What makes a restructuring proposal useful to creditors?+
Provide a reconciled debt schedule, credible cash-flow assumptions, proposed payment terms and treatment of security. Identify pending proceedings and dependencies. A revised due date alone does not explain how the company will meet its obligations.
Can a private plan bind a creditor who did not agree?+
Do not assume so. Distinguish contractual consent from effects available only through a formal procedure.
Why stress-test the forecast?+
The plan must withstand lower receipts or delayed asset sales rather than rely only on an optimistic scenario.
