A civil partnership firm in UAE is suitable for conducting service-related or professional activities. A civil partnership firm is also referred to as a professional company, and is governed by the relevant provisions of the UAE Civil Code, as well Local Order No. 63 of 1991 that relates to the licensing of craftsmen and professionals in the Emirate of Dubai (replaced by Law No. 13 of 2011 Regulating the Conduct of Economic Activities in the Emirate of Dubai). A civil partnership in Dubai or elsewhere in the United Arab Emirates is usually formed by two or more individuals. The partners do not enjoy limited liability. Instead, they are jointly liable for any losses or debts that arise out of the civil partnership, unless stated otherwise in the Civil Partnership Agreement. A civil partnership in Dubai requires a Civil Partnership Agreement that must be signed before a Dubai Court Notary Public.
