TOPIC

UAE Foundations & other business continuity solutions: What's new, what's hot, what's not?

Recent years have put traditional family holdings and SFO structures to a serious test, and in response to these challenges, nowhere have the ecosystem and toolboxes evolved as fast as in the Middle East. When considering a consolidation or structuring optimization, evaluating the latest global trends and options in terms of jurisdictions and tools is key – from the dos and don'ts to understanding what regional families are doing, why, and what can be learnt. This session helps advisors with clients with Middle East exposure navigate the latest trends in the UAE wealth management and structuring space.

The Webinar will look at both regimes’ key features and their similarities and differences with other well-established regimes.

It will also discuss the practical impact of these new tools locally and regionally. Followed by a Q&A.

Learning objectives:

• How we got there: understand the evolution of the UAE's regulatory framework in terms of wealth management and legacy planning
• Identify and understand the tools and mechanisms available to practitioners - foundations, trusts, SFOs & more!
• UAE Foundations: key features, similarities, and differences
• Be aware of the various uses of UAE business continuity structures and why? 
• Understand the practical impact of these new tools locally and regionally
• Live examples of what families are doing and why? What's hot, what's not?
