Amendment to the MOA

An Amendment to the Memorandum of Association (MOA) is required when there are changes in a company’s legal structure, ownership, activities, or other core business details. In the UAE, making these amendments legally and accurately is essential for maintaining compliance with the Department of Economic Development (DED) and other regulatory bodies.

At Al Hiqba, we offer expert services for drafting and processing MOA amendments. Whether you are adding a new partner, changing the company’s legal form, increasing capital, or modifying business activities, our team ensures that your amendments are clearly documented and legally approved.

We manage the entire process—from reviewing the existing MOA and preparing the amendment clauses to legal translation, notarization, and coordination with government departments.
