COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS

Corporate Translation That Survives Due Diligence

Contracts, MOAs, and Board Resolutions

A single mistranslated clause in a shareholder agreement can trigger a dispute worth millions. You need translators who understand corporate governance - not just language. We translate the intent behind the clause, not just the words on the page.

Three translation tiers. Arabic ↔ English falls under MOJ License #701. Other pairs use contracted MOJ-licensed translators. Arkan company certification covers pairs where no MOJ translator exists in the UAE. We tell you which tier applies before quoting.

Multi-Jurisdiction Compliance

Different legal systems. Different terminology. Same level of precision.

UAE Civil Code - Mainland

Contracts governed by UAE Civil Code require specific Arabic legal terminology rooted in the civil law tradition. Our translators understand the codified system and its procedural vocabulary, ensuring every clause reads as it should in both languages.

  • Federal Decree-Law terminology
  • Ministry-specific document formats
  • Commercial Companies Law compliance
  • Labour law contract provisions

Common Law - DIFC & ADGM

DIFC and ADGM operate under Common Law frameworks with English as the governing language. Translating these documents into Arabic requires precise equivalence of common law concepts that may not have direct civil law counterparts.

  • DIFC Companies Regulations
  • ADGM Companies Regulations
  • Common law contractual concepts
  • Arbitration clause translation

UAE Civil Code contracts have different terminology requirements than DIFC or ADGM Common Law agreements. Our translators are trained in both legal systems. The translation matches the jurisdiction, not just the language. For a detailed breakdown, read our guide on DIFC vs Dubai Courts.
