Family Business Governance & Drafting Family Charters for Multi-Generational Wealth Continuity in the GCC
Family Business Governance & Succession KSA • Qatar • Kuwait • UAE • Egypt
Executive Legal Study Summary

Insulating family conglomerates from fragmentation across second and third generations through enforceable Family Charters, Holding Companies, and Waqf structures.

Foundational Judicial Principle

Established Supreme Cassation & Tamyeoz Principle

“Economic Reality: Over 70% of family enterprises face fragmentation between the first and second generations; the decisive legal safeguard is early separation of ownership and management via a binding Family Charter.”
01

1. Drafting the Family Charter (Family Constitution) as a Binding Governance Instrument

Family conglomerates form the backbone of GCC and Egyptian economies. AL-HAWI LAW FIRM drafts bespoke Family Charters regulating family member employment criteria, dividend policies, pre-emption valuation formulas for share exits, and Family Council governance.

02

2. Restructuring into a Holding Group & Separating Ownership from Management

We restructure family assets under a unified Holding Company owning operational subsidiaries, ensuring that succession in shareholding never paralyzes daily executive operations across factories, hotels, and real estate portfolios.

03

3. Family Waqf Endowments & Amicable Dispute Resolution Boards

We structure modern Family Waqf endowments and confidential internal arbitration panels to preserve strategic real estate and corporate assets intact across generations.

Dedicated Practice Area for This Study
