What types of company structures are available in the UAE?
The UAE offers mainland companies, free zone companies, and offshore companies, each with different ownership rules, licensing requirements, and operational permissions. LYLAW also structures business partnerships, holding companies, and family offices depending on the client's objectives.
How does LYLAW help with company formation in the UAE?
LYLAW manages the full company formation process, from selecting the right jurisdiction and company type to drafting foundational documents and liaising with authorities. We act as a registered JAFZA Offshore Agent and DMCC International Agent, and handle licensing, regulatory filings, and practical setup requirements.
How do I choose the right corporate structure for my business?
The right structure depends on your business activities, financing needs, liability exposure, tax position, and growth plans. LYLAW assesses these factors and recommends whether a mainland LLC, free zone entity, offshore company, or another structure best fits your situation.
Does LYLAW provide ongoing support after a company is formed?
Yes, LYLAW continues to support companies after formation with compliance checks, annual renewals, corporate governance, shareholder and director meeting documentation, and updates on legal changes. We also advise on contract drafting, dispute resolution, and restructuring as needs evolve.
What is the difference between a mainland, free zone, and offshore company in the UAE?
Mainland companies can trade directly within the UAE market and are licensed by the relevant economic department in each emirate. Free zone companies operate within designated zones, while offshore companies are typically used for holding assets or international trade.
Does LYLAW handle company liquidation and business closure?
Yes, LYLAW manages corporate liquidation and the winding-down of businesses in the UAE. This includes coordinating with banks, auditors, creditors, and relevant authorities to close the company in compliance with UAE regulations.
What documents does LYLAW prepare during the company formation process?
LYLAW drafts corporate agreements, memoranda of association, board resolutions, certificates of good standing, and legal opinions under UAE law and international best practices. For DIFC-based entities, we prepare documentation under DIFC-specific regulations.
