- [Liquidation winding up companies sudan](https://abdeenandco.com/liquidation-winding-up-companies-sudan/): Quick Answer : Liquidation winding up in Sudan are governed by the Companies Act of 2015, the same statute that governs company formation and corporate governance. A company can be wound up voluntarily by shareholder resolution, or compulsorily through a court-ordered liquidation. Once a liquidation order is issued, Article 171 freezes almost all litigation against the company unless the liquidation court grants permission, and an official liquidator — appointed with shareholder approval — takes over realising assets and settling creditors. The Act also allows for corporate debt restructuring as a rescue alternative to outright liquidation, allowing the Commercial Court to suspend proceedings against a company that secures new financing to keep trading. Abdeen&Co. advises directors, shareholders, and creditors through every stage of this process.
- [Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Sudan](https://abdeenandco.com/enforcement-of-foreign-judgments-in-sudan/): Quick Answer : A foreign court judgment is enforceable in Sudan under Article 306 of the Civil Procedure Act if it was issued by a competent court, the parties received due process. It does not conflict with a Sudanese judgment or public policy, it was not obtained by fraud, and — critically — the issuing country reciprocally enforces Sudanese judgments. Sudan is also a signatory to the 1983 Riyadh Arab Agreement for Judicial Cooperation, which simplifies recognition between Arab League states. Foreign arbitral awards follow a separate track under Article 48 of the Arbitration Act of 2016, while ICSID investment awards — Sudan has been a Contracting State since 1973 — are enforced almost automatically as final domestic judgments under the ICSID Convention. Abdeen&Co. and its affiliate Equity IP Sudan have acted as expert counsel in multiple ICSID matters connected to Sudan and South Sudan and regularly advise creditors and investors on cross-border enforcement strategy.
- [Can Foreign Companies Own Property in Sudan? Real Estate Law FAQ (2025–26)](https://abdeenandco.com/can-foreign-companies-own-property-in-sudan/): Quick Answer : Foreign companies and individuals can hold property rights in Sudan. However, foreign ownership of freehold property is restricted under Sudanese land law.
- [Employment Law in Sudan: Employee Rights, Contracts & Termination Rules (2025–26)](https://abdeenandco.com/employment-law-in-sudan/): Employment law in Sudan is governed primarily by the Labour Act of 1997 (which replaced the Manpower Act 1974) and the Pensions and Social Insurance Act 2016. The Labour Act covers employment contracts (fixed-term and indefinite-term), working hours, wages, leave entitlements, termination of employment, and after-service benefits. Female employees are entitled to 12 weeks of maternity leave (6 weeks before and 6 weeks after birth). All employers must register employees with the National Social Insurance Fund. Foreign workers require a work permit before commencing employment in Sudan. Labour disputes are heard before Sudan's Labour Courts, with mediation available beforehand. Abdeen&Co. advises employers on compliant contract drafting, HR policy, and labour tribunal representation.
- [How to Register a Trademark in Sudan: Step-by-Step IP Protection Guide (2025–26)](https://abdeenandco.com/how-to-register-a-trademark-in-sudan/): To register a trademark in Sudan, an application is filed with the Registrar of Trademarks under the Sudanese Trademarks Act of 1969. The application is examined for registrability, and — if approved — published in the Official Gazette, opening an 8-month opposition window. If unopposed, the trademark is registered and a certificate issued. A Sudan trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date, renewable indefinitely for further 10-year terms. Sudan is a member of the Madrid Agreement (1967 Stockholm Act) and follows the Nice Classification system, except for alcoholic goods, which are not registrable. Abdeen&Co., through its IP affiliate Equity IP Sudan, manages the full trademark registration, renewal, and enforcement process for Sudanese and international brand owners.
- [Corporate Governance in Sudan: A Practical Guide for Businesses & SMEs (2025–26)](https://abdeenandco.com/corporate-governance-in-sudan/): Corporate governance in Sudan is regulated primarily by the Companies Act 2015 (the principal statute governing company formation, governance, and liquidation) and the Commercial Register Regulations issued by the Ministry of Justice. Effective corporate governance rests on five pillars:(1) Leadership & Oversight, (2) Policies & Procedures, (3) Financial Controls, (4) Risk & Compliance, and (5) Stakeholder Engagement. For SMEs operating in Sudan — one of Africa's most dynamic emerging markets — governance is not merely a compliance requirement but a strategic asset that determines access to finance, investor confidence, and long-term resilience. Abdeen&Co. has published a free Corporate Governance for SMEs Brief Book (2026) — a 34-page practical framework covering governance pillars, risk management, compliance, family business governance, ESG, and a 2026–2030 implementation roadmap.
