About Share Purchase POA
A share purchase power of attorney lets you appoint someone to handle every step of buying company shares for you, in Dubai or any other emirate. It is usually arranged when the buyer cannot come to the UAE to complete the purchase and the share transfer in person.
Buying shares can involve several authorities, especially when the company licence and shareholder records must be updated. We draft the POA around the company, the number of shares and the price or terms you agree, and the powers below can be extended where needed.
Powers you can assign
- Manage the whole share purchase process
- Sign the share purchase agreement
- Sign the share transfer agreement and MoA
- Represent you as buyer before the relevant authorities
- Attend the notary or licensing authority
- Pay the purchase price
- Update the licence and shareholder records
- Sign amended company documents

Share Purchase POA
Your questions,
answered.
When is a share purchase POA used?
It is common when the buyer is abroad or unavailable, or would rather have legal professionals manage the transfer. It is also used in complex restructurings and investor exits, where the deal has to be completed on time.
Can the same POA act for the buyer and the seller?
No. A single POA cannot legally act for both sides of the same deal. Each side should appoint its own representative through a separate POA, so there is no conflict of interest.
Do free zones have their own requirements?
Yes. The principle is the same, but authorities such as DMCC, JAFZA and DIFC may expect their own format, wording and supporting papers. Getting legal advice for the specific jurisdiction is recommended.
Can my representative negotiate the deal?
Only when the POA clearly gives them that power. Otherwise, they can only carry out the terms already agreed and cannot change the deal or its structure without your consent.
What if the company’s ownership changes during the process?
The POA generally remains valid if it was valid when signed and its scope has not changed. But if the change alters shareholder rights or concerns the company being sold itself, an updated or new POA may be needed.
Can a non-resident buy UAE shares through a POA?
Yes. Non-residents can sign a POA abroad and have it legalized for use in the UAE.
Do other shareholders need to agree?
That depends on the company documents. Some require the consent of the existing shareholders.
Can the same representative handle payment?
Yes, if the POA includes the power to pay and receive amounts.
