Drafting

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.

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