Episode 55 − Contemporary Wealth Structuring | Dispute Prevention − Part 2: How to compare options?
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 Part 2 of this tripartite episode, Yann Mrazek, Managing Partner of M/HQ, and Nicole Buncher, Counsel at Clifford Chance, cover key considerations for advisors when assessing legacy planning solutions, examine the UAE’s offerings in comparison to other jurisdictions, and highlight practical tools that help prevent disputes and safeguard intergenerational legacies.
