Use when advising on UAE corporate law, including mainland LLC and PJSC structures under Federal Decree-Law 32/2021, 100% foreign ownership rules, free zone entity types (DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, JAFZA, and 40+ others), incorporation procedures, beneficial ownership and economic substance requirements, UAE Corporate Tax (9%), and the distinction between onshore and free-zone regulatory regimes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Knowledge Pack — UAE Corporate Law

## Scope

This pack covers the UAE corporate law framework, including mainland (onshore) and free-zone entity structures. The UAE has one of the most complex corporate law landscapes in MENA: 40+ free zones each with their own regulations, plus a federal mainland law, plus two common-law free zones (DIFC and ADGM) with their own legislation. This pack is the primary reference for:

- Choosing between mainland and free zone
- Entity type selection
- 100% foreign ownership rules
- Incorporation procedures
- Free zone selection (DIFC vs ADGM vs DMCC vs others)
- Beneficial ownership and economic substance
- UAE Corporate Tax (9%)
- Governance and annual obligations

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/kb-corporate-law-uae-sboghossian@sha256:34fd84ac15e3672f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
