MOA & AOA Drafting Coordination — Practical, Non-legal Support for UAE Company Setup
We coordinate the preparation of Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) drafts for new and existing companies in the UAE. Our non-legal service focuses on accurate, submission-ready documents and smooth collaboration between founders, local partners, and legal advisors.
Overview
We gather your company details, share structure, capital, and business activities, then produce clear MOA/AOA drafts based on UAE templates and regulator expectations. This service is non-legal: we format and coordinate drafts for review rather than provide legal advice. We work with founders, local partners, and nominated lawyers to incorporate required clauses, shareholder schedules, and governance items so the document reflects your commercial intent. We flag common regulator requirements and ensure consistency with your trade license application information. Our team manages version control, stakeholder feedback, and final consolidation so you receive a clean draft ready for legal review and submission. We also provide practical guidance on typical timelines and next administrative steps for filing with mainland and free zone authorities. If you need full legal drafting or dispute resolution, we will refer you to qualified legal counsel. Our coordination speeds up setup and reduces back-and-forth between parties and authorities by delivering well-organized, regulator-aware draft documents.

Frequently asked questions
What does 'non-legal' drafting coordination mean?
We prepare and coordinate MOA/AOA drafts based on provided information and UAE templates, manage revisions and stakeholder feedback, and deliver submission-ready documents. We do not provide legal advice or substitute for a licensed lawyer.
How long does coordination typically take?
Timing depends on complexity and the speed of stakeholder feedback; simple cases often take 3–7 business days from receipt of all documents, while more complex structures may take longer.
Can you help if I need changes after the draft is completed?
Yes — we manage revisions and version control. Significant legal changes should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before final submission.
Will you file the MOA/AOA with UAE authorities?
We provide the final draft and a submission checklist. Filing and legal approval are handled separately; we can coordinate with your nominated legal firm or refer you to legal partners if needed.
Is this service available for both mainland and free zone companies?
Yes. We coordinate MOA/AOA drafts for mainland and most free zone company setups and will align the document with the relevant authority’s requirements.
