Episode 6 − New DIFC Prescribed Company Regulations 2026

October 8, 2026

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has established itself as a leading global hub for corporate structuring and wealth management, attracting corporates, family offices, investors, and entrepreneurs seeking efficient solutions for consolidation, governance, and long-term strategic planning. UAE holding structures play a central role in enabling this, offering flexibility, regulatory clarity, and access to international markets.

In a mini webcast series, team M/HQ shares insights into the world of UAE holding structures – how they are used in practice, why they are increasingly relevant, and the key considerations for setting them up effectively.

In our sixth episode, Jeny Netto, Director of Corporate Structuring at M/HQ, and Hermione Harrison, Partner & Head of Abu Dhabi Office at M/HQ, explore the latest developments in the DIFC Prescribed Company regulations and their practical implications for clients.
