Document background
The Private Investment Agreement is a crucial document used in the United Arab Emirates for structuring and documenting private investments in companies or projects. It serves as the primary contract between investors and investee companies, detailing the terms of investment, ownership rights, management provisions, and exit mechanisms. This document is particularly important in the UAE context as it must comply with specific local regulations, including the UAE Commercial Companies Law, Foreign Direct Investment Law, and where applicable, free zone regulations. The agreement is commonly used for both domestic and foreign investments, requiring careful consideration of ownership restrictions, corporate governance requirements, and Sharia compliance where relevant. It typically includes comprehensive provisions for investor protections, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution mechanisms that are enforceable under UAE law.
