Hello readers,
Dubai does not just do luxury—it defines it. From diamond-dusted desserts to seven-star service, the city has positioned itself as the epicentre of extravagance.
In this edition, we delve into the UAE’s luxury business sector, featuring interviews and analysis from the nation’s top legal practitioners.
Our cover features Marco De Leo, the Dubai managing partner of BonelliErede, a premier Italian law firm with a roster of big fashion clients. He shares his experience leading the firm’s Dubai operations, growing the team more than fivefold, and his involvement in key deals like the recent Prada-Versace transaction.
We also feature Taylor Wessing’s Dubai managing partner and private wealth practitioner, Ronald Graham, who draws on over two decades of experience guiding the Gulf’s elite, highlighting the priorities, challenges, and opportunities shaping their wealth management strategies.
Finally, BSA Law partner Lara Barbary analyses the legal reforms driving the nation’s transformation into a regional command centre for global brands.
Until next month,
