Note to the Legal Form

 

The Company Law defines “Sharikat Tadhamun” as a company established between two or more general partners who will jointly and unlimitedly, to the extent of their personal assets, be responsible for the liabilities of the company. Creditors may claim the debts from either the company as a separate legal entity or from the general partners.

 

Notwithstanding the English translation of its name, this type of company should not be compared to the partnership concept under English Law. A Sharikat Tadhamun is considered a company and has the attributes of a corporation similar to that of a partnership under Scottish Law or to the “Societe en Nom Collectif” under French Law.

 

There are no legal requirements concerning the amount of capital of a general partnership. The shares of each partner, presented in cash, kind or rights, must not be issued in the form of negotiable instruments, nor can they be transferred or assigned without the unanimous approval of the partners unless the memorandum specifically provides otherwise.
