Sharia Law & Middle Eastern Wealth Structures
The Middle East is home to an unprecedented concentration of private wealth, and London continues to be a preferred destination for investment, wealth planning, and dispute resolution. At Edwin Coe, we regularly act for prominent Middle Eastern families and expatriates with Middle Eastern heritage, offering discreet and strategic support in navigating complex cross-border wealth matters.
While we do not provide direct advice on foreign or Sharia law, our extensive experience in this area has given us deep insight into the cultural dynamics and legal intricacies that often arise in Middle Eastern family wealth disputes. We maintain strong relationships with leading Middle Eastern law firms, whom we engage where appropriate to advise on local and Sharia law matters. Through our membership in Ally Law, we also have access to a global network of independent firms, enabling us to obtain urgent, jurisdiction-specific advice wherever needed.
