In the first episode of our quarterly video series, The DIFC Perspective, we invited Robin Abraham, Managing Partner at Clifford Chance Middle East, and Gary Watts, Partner and Head of Corporate Commercial at Al Tamimi & Co., to discuss the factors impacting Family Businesses in the MEASA region.
During their breakfast meeting, our speakers shared their views on:
- What challenges and opportunities face family business globally, versus in the region
- What the framework for a well-governed and effectively operating family business should look like
- How to ensure succession plans can be sharia’a compliant
- Key considerations for family businesses when undergoing an intergenerational shift
