Document background
The Confirmation of Directorship Letter is a crucial corporate governance document used in the United Arab Emirates when appointing new directors to a company's board. This document is required to formally establish the director's position and ensure compliance with UAE Federal Commercial Companies Law (Federal Law No. 2 of 2015, as amended) and relevant regulatory requirements. The letter is commonly used during new director appointments, reappointments, or when documenting changes in director roles. It includes essential information about the appointment terms, responsibilities, remuneration, and compliance requirements specific to UAE corporate governance standards. The document must align with specific requirements depending on whether the company is established in mainland UAE or in one of the free zones, each having their own regulatory frameworks while adhering to federal law principles.
