The UAE’s recent amendments to the Commercial Companies Law (CCL) mark a significant shift in how companies can structure equity and governance to attract investment. The reforms explicitly permit multi-class share structures, drag-along and tag-along rights, and the creation of new share categories, giving companies greater flexibility while enhancing investor protections. By aligning statutory law with global corporate practices, the UAE has signalled its commitment to creating a predictable and investor-friendly business environment.
