Episode 54 – Contemporary Wealth Structuring | Dispute Prevention – Part 1
Since their introduction in the UAE in 2017, foundations have had a substantial impact on the structuring of domestic and regional assets.
In a series of podcasts, team M/HQ is discussing the multiple uses of foundations in practice from all angles.
In this tripartite Episode, Yann Mrazek is joined by Nicole Buncher of Clifford Chance to unpack how UAE Foundations and other structuring tools can be designed to minimize conflict and future-proof family legacies.
