Kuwait’s Commercial Concealment Law: Is Your Business Ready for 9 February 2027?
Oct 1, 2026 · original
A business may have operated for years, with an established name, long-standing relationships, and its own clients, contracts, employees and brand. Yet its age says nothing about whether its legal structure can survive beyond 9 February 2027. On that date, Decree-Law No. 78 of 2026 on Combating Commercial Concealment enters into force. It was published in the Official Gazette on 9 August 2026, and its fourteenth article set a six-month period before it takes effect. This legislation was not enacted to expose an unknown phenomenon, but to bring it to an end. Arrangements that long existed in the shadows — a licence held in one person’s name, while management and profits belong to another — now fall squarely within the scope of criminal liability. The question a business owner should be asking, therefore, is not “What is commercial concealment?” but rather: “Does the economic reality of my

Foreign Companies Entering the Kuwaiti Market: Three Routes to a 100% Foreign-Owned Commercial Presence
Sep 24, 2026 · original
By Fahad Alburaikan, Co-Founding Partner, Alitqan Legal Group Why was Kuwait a difficult market for foreign companies? For many years Kuwait was among the most closed markets in the Gulf to foreign investment. This was not for any lack of opportunity, but because of a long-standing rule in Article 23 of the Kuwaiti Commercial Code: a foreigner could not engage in trade in Kuwait without a Kuwaiti partner holding no less than 51% of the capital, so that the foreign share could never exceed 49%, and any commercial activity conducted outside that framework, such as trading alone, was void. Article 24 of the same Code closed the other door by prohibiting foreign companies from establishing branches in Kuwait and permitting them to operate only through a local Kuwaiti agent. In practice, a foreign company wishing to do business in Kuwait faced a choice between two options only: a partnership

Alitqan Legal Group and ReNile Partner to Bring Smart Agriculture to Kuwait
Jan 7, 2025 · original
Alitqan Legal Group and ReNile , a smart agriculture technology company, have announced a partnership to deliver Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to Kuwait’s agricultural sector on a sound legal footing. Who does what ReNile , led by CEO Dr. Hazem Salah El-Din El-Tawab , provides systems that monitor water consumption, soil health and air quality, giving farmers data to make more precise decisions that raise output and save resources. Alitqan Legal Group , led by Founding Partner Sultan Al-Qahtani , ensures these solutions are deployed smoothly within Kuwait’s legal and regulatory framework.

Connected farm sensors collect data over networks, which raises compliance questions that must be settled before deployment. And since agriculture is one of the most water-intensive sectors in the Arab region, better water
