There has never been a greater density of private wealth in the Middle East than at present. As Middle Eastern families look to preserve assets and plan financial legacies, London is time and again an attractive option for investment as an international wealth hub as a centre for resolving disputes.

We regularly act for eminent Middle Eastern families, and indeed expatriates with Middle Eastern heritage. Although not qualified to advise directly on foreign or Sharia law, our experience has invariably exposed us to the cultural dynamics which present themselves during Middle Eastern family wealth disputes, as well as the legal intricacies of Sharia practice.

We therefore have a well-established network in which we have developed strong connections with leading Middle Eastern law firms which we engage where appropriate to advise, where necessary, on local and Sharia law.

Edwin Coe’s membership of Ally Law also allows us to contact independent law firms in all corners of the globe. This means if necessary we can gain ready access and obtain urgent advice from leadings firms in foreign jurisdictions.
