The Legal Obligations of a LLC Manager in Dubai

The Legal Obligations of a LLC Manager in Dubai

Company management in Dubai is regulated by several laws among which a company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Commercial Law. These laws also provide for the legal duties and obligations of company directors or managers. The company’s incorporation documents will establish different regulations for its managers depending on the type of entity. The two most frequently types of companies registered in Dubai are the limited liability company (LLC) and joint-stock company (JSC). Other laws also apply depending on the company’s objects of activity. This is the case of financial companies and banking institutions which fall under the governance of the Penal Code and the Commercial Transaction Act.

Additionally, each company will have its own corporate regulations managers are bound to respect.

The most important provisions on the legal obligations of a manager of a Dubai limited liability company are comprised in Article 111 of the UAE Commercial Law. According to the legislation, LLC company managers are liable to:

Article 665 in the Civil Code specifies that a manager can be held liable for a company’s losses if they act outside the scope of their job. Managers can also be accountable if their resignation harms the company. Under the Civil Code potential situations that can cause damage to a company are financial difficulties.
