Document background
The Partial Novation Agreement is commonly used in the UAE business environment when there is a need to transfer some, but not all, rights and obligations under an existing contract to a new party. This document type is particularly relevant in scenarios such as corporate restructuring, partial business transfers, or project reassignments. Under UAE law, the agreement must clearly delineate which obligations are being transferred and which remain with the original parties, ensuring compliance with UAE Civil Code requirements for the transfer of obligations. The document provides a structured framework for managing these partial transfers while maintaining legal certainty for all parties involved.
