The problem this removes
Resolutions, transfer documents, amended constitution and the authority filing, so the new ownership or management is recorded and the bank accepts it.
If this is you
- A partner is leaving, joining or changing stake and it must be watertight.
- A verbal agreement between shareholders is not a transfer of shares.
- The bank and the authority will only accept the correct documents.
The cost of waiting
An unregistered transfer leaves the outgoing shareholder legally liable and the incoming one with nothing enforceable.

Before you buy
- We trust each other, do we need this?
- The registry does not record trust. Until the change is filed, the old position is the legal position.
- Can you handle a departing partner who is difficult?
- Yes. Ask about Resolve a Partner Breakup, which covers the negotiation and settlement too.
- Do all shareholders need to be here?
- Usually not. We prepare powers of attorney where the authority allows it.
- Refund?
- Full refund before drafting starts, no questions asked.
- Is the price really fixed?
- Yes. The fee you see is the fee you pay for the scope written on this page. If your matter turns out to need something outside that scope, we tell you the price before any further work starts.
- Who actually handles my matter?
- A vetted, UAE-licensed legal professional experienced in this exact type of matter. You are given their name, not a ticket number.
- What if I picked the wrong service?
- We move you to the right one. If it costs less, the difference is refunded. If it costs more, you decide before anything is charged.
- What if nobody contacts me in 10 minutes?
- Your service fee is refunded. The clock starts the moment your payment is confirmed and it is recorded against your reference number.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens after I pay?
- A UAE legal professional will contact you by WhatsApp or phone within 10 minutes. They will confirm the request, collect anything else required and begin the service.
- What happens if Index cannot handle my request?
- Your Index Law service fee will be refunded in full.
- Are government fees included?
- No, unless the service expressly says they are included. Government, court, notary, licence, registration, translation and other third-party fees are shown separately before they are incurred.
- Is the work reviewed by a lawyer?
- Where the service involves UAE legal advice or legal drafting, it is reviewed or delivered by an appropriately qualified UAE legal professional.
- How are your lawyers vetted?
- We work with a small panel rather than an open marketplace. Each professional is licensed to practise in the UAE, checked for good standing, and only given matters in the areas they practise in day to day.
- How can the fee be fixed?
- Each service has a defined scope, so the work is predictable and priced once. If your matter turns out to need more than the published scope, we tell you first and nothing further is charged without your written approval.

- Yes. Book One Hour With a Dubai Lawyer for AED 750, credited in full against any service you instruct within 30 days.
- How quickly will I receive the work?
