BaghdadiLaw’s experience in share purchase contract in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to share purchase agreements, with detailed knowledge of due diligence, disclosures, seller warranties, completion conditions and price adjustment. Buying shares in a UAE company means acquiring an interest in an existing business, including exposure to its financial position. The review separates price negotiations from ownership verification, transfer restrictions and the approvals needed to complete the purchase.
A share purchase transfers an interest in a company rather than the company's assets individually. UAE company form, constitutional restrictions and the competent register determine completion formalities; a free-zone company requires review of its own company rules. Contract signature and completion of the ownership record must be separated. Compare the share register, accounts and disclosure schedule. A share percentage does not explain existing debt, control rights or transfer restrictions; record unresolved liabilities before agreeing the transaction scope.
We agree the work your matter needs: Where the business is viable but information is incomplete, compare disclosure, price retention and completion conditions. If the seller cannot establish ownership or an essential consent, the issue is completion risk rather than simply negotiating a lower price. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A buyer or seller issue list, disclosure requests and proposed completion safeguards showing what must be resolved before the price or shares are released.

Before requesting advice on share purchase contract in the UAE
Does buying shares mean buying only the company’s assets?+
No. Review the company being acquired, its obligations and the shares transferred. Accounts, warranties, disclosure and transfer restrictions help distinguish the price paid from liabilities that may affect the investment.
Does paying the share price remove the company's earlier debts?+
No such assumption should be made. The company continues to carry its obligations; due diligence and indemnity terms address the buyer's economic exposure rather than erase creditor rights.
What if the seller is not the registered partner?+
Trace the claimed ownership and authority before completion. A beneficial-interest understanding is not a substitute for the transfer documentation required by the applicable register.
