« Back to Glossary IndexQuorum
A quorum is the minimum number of shareholders, directors, or members required to be present for a corporate meeting to be legally valid. In the UAE, quorum requirements for general assemblies and board meetings are set out in Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 on Commercial Companies. For limited liability companies (LLCs), at least 50% of the shareholders’ capital must be represented to hold a general meeting. For public joint-stock companies (PJSCs), the quorum is generally 50% but may be lower for subsequent meetings if the first fails. In DIFC and ADGM, companies can set their own quorum rules in shareholder agreements or articles of association.
