Structures spanning Gulf, European, and offshore jurisdictions with divergent obligations
Governance gaps between generations and family branches
We advise family offices, private principals, and wealth platforms across the Gulf on the structuring, governance, and deployment of private capital — from succession architecture to allocation into private markets.
Gulf family capital is passing to a second and third generation at the same time as regional regulators formalise family business governance and international transparency regimes reach further. Structures built for a founder rarely survive that combination without redesign.
Family office governance, succession structuring, and private markets access for Gulf principals and wealth platforms.

Capital architecture
Blended finance layer stack
How concessional, guarantee-backed, and commercial capital combine in bankable project and fund structures.
Guarantee layer
Partial credit · political risk · first-loss
Concessional finance
DFI · ECA cover · blended tranches
Sponsor equity
Government · corporate · project equity
Layered by payment seniority — commercial capital sits senior, concessional and guarantee layers absorb structured risk, and sponsor equity takes first loss.

How we've helped
Family office
Governance framework for a Gulf family platform
We designed investment committee governance, reporting standards, and allocation policy for a family office holding assets across the GCC and Europe — setting decision rights that hold as the platform passes to the next generation.
