Business Expansion in the GCC

The Expanding Business in the GCC event, organised by ILIA and Rahneman, two leading management consultancy firms, provided valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of operating in the region. The discussion covered the advantages and complexities of doing business in the GCC, along with key legal considerations for market entry. Behnam Khatami joined Dr. Farhad Nili to highlight the legal landscape of the UAE, emphasising its well-structured legislation, swift and efficient administrative procedures, and a transparent, predictable enforcement system—all of which play a crucial role in supporting businesses. Behnam Khatami also addressed the essential legal and strategic steps businesses must take when entering new jurisdictions, especially in the GCC.
