Doha [Qatar], February 22: Qatar Chamber recently organised a two-day specialised training course titled "Entrepreneurship and Legal Protection of Emerging Establishments from Idea to Liquidation," with the participation of a group of entrepreneurs, project owners, and individuals interested in launching new businesses in Qatar.
The course aimed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the legal and regulatory framework governing the establishment, management, and operation of businesses in Qatar. It also focused on raising awareness about the legal risks that emerging enterprises may encounter at different stages of their lifecycle. Emphasis was placed on the idea that legal risks do not arise only when disputes occur, but can begin at the earliest stages of business formation, starting from the initial idea and planning phase.
The training programme was delivered by Abdullah Al Ajmi, an arbitrator accredited by the Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA), who brings extensive professional experience from both the public and private sectors. His practical approach and real-world examples enabled participants to better understand how legal principles apply to everyday business situations.
Throughout the course, Al Ajmi structured the content around four main pillars, starting with the pre-establishment phase. He highlighted the importance of selecting the most suitable legal structure for a business, explaining how each option carries different implications in terms of personal liability, regulatory requirements, and opportunities for attracting investment.
He also stressed the need to clearly define the rights and obligations of partners through well-drafted agreements that regulate management mechanisms, profit-sharing, exit strategies, and dispute resolution procedures.
The programme covered several key topics essential for sustainable entrepreneurship, including company formation procedures, drafting partner agreements, dispute resolution mechanisms, intellectual property protection, legal risk management, and liquidation processes.
Participants were introduced to practical tools and legal safeguards that help protect business owners from potential disputes and regulatory challenges, while also ensuring compliance with national laws and regulations.
The course concluded with interactive discussions and case studies that allowed participants to engage directly with real-life business scenarios. These sessions helped reinforce the practical legal knowledge gained during the programme and equipped entrepreneurs with actionable insights to build well-structured, legally compliant, and sustainable business ventures in Qatar.
Overall, the initiative reflects Qatar Chamber's ongoing commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and supporting the development of a strong and resilient private sector by enhancing legal awareness and promoting best practices in business establishment and management.
