The Bylaws Operating Agreement is a crucial document required for establishing and operating a company in the United Arab Emirates. It is particularly essential for companies operating under UAE Federal Law No. 32 of 2021, whether in mainland UAE or free zones. This document combines elements of both traditional bylaws and operating agreements, adapted to meet UAE legal requirements and corporate governance standards. The agreement details the company's internal management structure, shareholder rights and obligations, profit distribution mechanisms, and decision-making processes. It serves as a fundamental reference point for resolving disputes, managing corporate changes, and ensuring compliance with UAE corporate law. The document must be prepared in both Arabic and English, with the Arabic version prevailing in case of discrepancies.
