Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) recently brought together entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders for a practical knowledge-sharing session focused on helping SMEs better understand the legal foundations that support sustainable business growth.
As businesses navigate increasingly complex operating environments, legal awareness has become an essential part of managing risk, protecting commercial interests, and making informed decisions. The session provided attendees with practical guidance on key legal considerations that business owners commonly encounter, from contracts and liabilities to compliance requirements and governance practices.
Led by legal and compliance experts Simon Walker, Founder & Managing Partner, Skyewalker Law, and Jamie Killilea, Founding Partner and Global Head of Compliance, CGI Consultancy, the discussion explored common legal pitfalls faced by SMEs and offered practical insights on how businesses can strengthen their legal foundations as they grow.
Clearer understanding
During the session, participants gained a clearer understanding of how well-structured contracts can help protect commercial relationships, the importance of understanding liabilities and obligations, and the role of compliance in supporting long-term business success.
The session also provided valuable networking opportunities, enabling participants to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders, exchange experiences, and discuss common challenges associated with growing and managing businesses in an evolving business environment.
Through initiatives like these, RAKEZ continues to create opportunities for businesses to access relevant expertise, exchange experiences with peers, and gain practical insights that support their ongoing development.
