If legal issues arise and the trade license mentions the manager and the owner, who is responsible?

Determining who is authorized in case of legal issues involving a UAE company with both manager and owner listed on the trade license depends on the company structure and specific situation.

In most cases, the manager who has the signing authority and power to make vital decisions on behalf of the company and on behalf of the owner will be more responsible.

However, the owner's liability can not be removed even if the manager is liable for the company's decision.
