Document background
The Project Cooperation Agreement is a crucial document used in Qatar when two or more parties wish to collaborate on a specific project while maintaining their separate legal identities. This agreement type is particularly important in Qatar's rapidly developing economy, where complex projects often require collaboration between local and international entities. The document addresses key aspects required under Qatari law, including local partner requirements, foreign investment restrictions, and compliance with local regulations. It provides a comprehensive framework for project execution, covering everything from initial planning to completion, while ensuring alignment with Qatar's Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004) and Commercial Companies Law (Law No. 11 of 2015). The Project Cooperation Agreement is distinct from a joint venture agreement as it focuses on specific project collaboration rather than forming a new business entity.
