Experts Discuss Family Enterprises in Saudi

This week has marked the end of our popular Saudi event series focussed on family enterprises in the Kingdom.

On Monday, we were in Riyadh where we co-hosted an evening event with Stephenson Harwood LLP on the recent trends in structuring for GCC families. It was led by Jersey Finance’s Faizal Bhana, Director – Middle East, Africa and India, and Alastair Glover, Partner, Stephenson Harwood LLP.

Our guests heard from a line-up of expert speakers and panellists who presented their perspectives on the current state of family enterprises and their future priorities, exploring key trends that are emerging and reshaping this exclusive sector.

On Wednesday, we were in Jeddah to co-host an event with Alzawawi Law Firm focussed on family businesses in conflict. Again led by Faizal Bhana but this time with Hassan Zawawi, Partner, Alzawawi Law Firm, our guests heard from an esteemed line-up of family enterprise experts from Jeddah, the wider Gulf region and further afield. They discussed the practices, solutions and strategies used when advising family businesses in conflict.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us in Riyadh and Jeddah, to all of our expert speakers and to our joint hosts, Stephenson Harwood LLP in Riyadh and Alzawawi Law Firm in Jeddah.

Against this backdrop, Jersey’s international finance centre has been recognised for its valuable network of experienced professionals supporting family businesses. Key priorities are to ensure their long-term sustainability, continuity and legacy across generations. Learn more.
