Legal services for establishing, organising and resolving disputes in your business
Are you establishing a company, entering a partnership or considering buying shares? Are you facing a disagreement between partners, or do you need to review a decision or agreement relating to your company's business?
Hjouj Law Firm & Arbitration provides legal advice and services to companies and business owners in Jordan, from incorporation and structuring partner relationships to reviewing transactions and representing clients in commercial disputes. The service is assessed according to the activity, company documents and business stage.
Incorporation and organising the initial arrangements
Establishing a company requires an assessment of its legal form, activities, number of partners, management and financing. We help review these matters, prepare incorporation documents and follow up registration procedures and activity-related requirements within the agreed scope of service.
The assessment includes structuring powers, decision-making and the allocation of responsibilities between partners. Clarifying these matters at the outset helps reduce uncertainty that may emerge when expectations differ or the business expands.
Partner agreements and managing relationships
Partners may agree on the business idea and capital while management, financing, profits and exit arrangements remain unclear. We review these aspects and help draft agreements reflecting the parties' understanding, with regard to company documents and relevant legislation.
Agreements may address partners' contributions and responsibilities, limits on management authority, mechanisms for handling disagreements, and entry or exit arrangements. They are prepared with the business's actual circumstances and future plans in mind.
Share sales and partners joining or leaving
Buying or selling shares requires a review extending beyond the price. We examine company documents, transfer conditions, existing agreements and obligations that may affect the transaction, and assist with agreements and related procedures.
The review includes payment arrangements, guarantees, settling accounts between the parties and defining what the agreement includes or excludes. The transaction may require cooperation with an accountant or financial expert to assess matters within their specialism.
Decisions, authority and governance
A company needs clear management, signing and representation powers, together with appropriately documented decisions. We review meeting minutes, resolutions and authorisations, and structure powers in accordance with the company's legal form and documents.
We also review changes to company details, management or documents and discuss the required procedures for the case. This organisation helps define responsibilities and supports dealings with authorities and parties that require proof of authority.
Commercial contracts and transactions
Company operations involve supply, services, distribution, agency, partnership and other contracts. We assist with drafting and reviewing these agreements, examining the scope of work, consideration, payment, delivery, guarantees, termination and dispute resolution.
If an agreement has already been signed and a performance dispute arises, we review its terms, correspondence and related documents to assess obligations and available options. Our contracts page provides more information about review before and after signature.

Company and partner disputes
A dispute may concern management, accounts or implementation of a partner agreement, or arise with a customer, supplier or contractor. We examine the facts, documents, evidence and claims to identify material issues and possible approaches.
Depending on the dispute, the service may include negotiations, preparing demands and responses, or representation in litigation or arbitration. Each approach is assessed against the agreements, existing proceedings and the client's objectives.
Legal advice during business operations
Companies regularly face decisions about contracts, recruitment, expansion, debt recovery and partner relationships. You can contact the firm to review a particular issue or discuss a scope of legal services suited to your company's needs.
Reviewing an issue before making a decision helps clarify obligations, risks and alternatives. The service, its limits and fees are determined after understanding the business and the work required.
What should you prepare to discuss your company's matter?
Depending on the matter, useful documents may include the registration certificate, memorandum and articles of association, partner agreements, meeting minutes, authorisations, contracts and relevant correspondence. You do not need all of them at initial contact.
Explain your role in the company, what you want to achieve, and whether there is a dispute, ongoing procedure or approaching signing date. This helps identify the documents requiring review without sending sensitive records through the general form.
