Programme overview

The attraction of the Islamic financial system continues to grow almost as rapidly as the system itself continues to evolve. Factors such as the financial liquidity and diversification of the economy, and the personal wealth which these factors create have opened up substantial opportunities for foreign investment. Only the most foolhardy offshore practitioner would ignore this important region.

The Offshore Investment Conference – Dubai 2008 explores the significance of Dubai as a financial centre and brings together our experts from around the world to provide a detailed analysis of the changes and developments in relation to tax treaties, citizenship and residency, Shari’a-compliant wealth management structures, and dispute resolution.

Day One looks at the Dubai regulatory scheme and current issues of concern for those who might be contemplating investment or basing a wealth management structure in Dubai. We look in detail at modern wealth management and succession for the Middle Eastern family and the Shari’a law of personal status in principle and modern practice.

Day Two looks at the extensive tax treaty network of the UAE, Dubai’s relationship to other OFCs and OECD countries focusing on how Dubai might be best used as a platform for investment. We also look at how to relocate your business and your residency to Dubai together with sustaining a family office.

The success of last year’s event and the ever changing financial landscape in the UAE sees us return to this region to offer an unparalleled opportunity for offshore professionals to learn, network and socialise whilst considering the unique opportunities this industry has to offer.
