Commercial Companies Law (Qatar, Law No. 5, 2002) in English

Law No. 5 of 2002 was Qatar's Commercial Companies Law for thirteen years: the forms a company could take, incorporation, shareholder rights, management and winding up. It was replaced by Law No. 11 of 2015, but companies formed under the 2002 statute — and the disputes, guarantees and shareholder arrangements dating from that period — are still read against it.

Counsel with legacy Qatari corporate matters, investors tracing the history of joint ventures formed in the 2000s, and researchers comparing the 2002 and 2015 regimes are the usual readers of this translation.
