9/26/25, 8:32 AM Dubai Judicial Institute organises ‘Negotiation Skills and Settlement of Family Disputes in the Distribution of Inheritances’ programme
businesses across generations. These businesses represent a vital pillar of sustainable investment, anchored in the development
of human capital and managerial excellence.

The programme, which commenced on September 9, targets a select group of judges from Dubai courts, aiming to equip them with
the necessary tools and develop skills required to handle inheritance disputes within family businesses. Delivered by Adib Rashid,
Director of Dubai Centre for Family Businesses, the programme focuses on three main pillars: the concept and structure of family
businesses; the causes and motivations behind disputes in family businesses; and the role of governance and international
practices in managing family business disputes.

H.E. Judge Dr. Ebtisam Ali Al Bedwawi, Director General of Dubai Judicial Institute, said: “The launch of this programme aligns with
the visionary outlook of H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in fostering an ecosystem that supports
family businesses and ensures their continuity as partners in driving the economic growth. This step marks a significant
contribution to the efforts of the judicial system in enhancing the sustainability of family businesses. At the same time, it embodies
the mission of the Dubai Judicial Institute to disseminate legal knowledge, establish new standards for the efficiency and
inclusiveness of judicial training and development, and support judicial excellence and global competitiveness for the Emirate of
Dubai.”

H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, commented: “Family businesses are a cornerstone
of the national economy and a vital pillar of sustainable development. The programme marks an important step in strengthening the
legal and regulatory framework that supports family businesses in sustaining growth and ensuring continuity across generations. It
also helps safeguard the proud legacy of national family enterprises while reinforcing their essential role in shaping the economy of
the future.”

Inheritance disputes remain one of the major challenges to the continuity and stability of family businesses, which serve as a vital
pillar of the national economy. This programme reflects DJI’s commitment to equipping judges with a holistic understanding of such
disputes, integrating both legal and economic perspectives. It emphasises the importance of promoting negotiated solutions and
applying effective dispute resolution skills that safeguard the integrity of family businesses, ensure the continuity of their
operations, thereby reinforce Dubai’s position as a leading global business hub.

The DJI's organisation of this program underscores its commitment to achieving institutional excellence and operational efficiency.
The initiative aligns with its mission to enhance judicial performance by offering training programs that adhere to the highest
standards of qualification, while equipping judicial personnel with up-to-date knowledge and skills to address future legal
challenges.
