Palmes was retained by a family office to support its ambition to establish a leading presence within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) – now recognised as one of the world’s most compelling jurisdictions for cross-border private capital. We advised on strategic messaging, stakeholder perception and developed a discreet engagement programme anchored around key government, regulatory and ecosystem leaders.
Our strategy was shaped by a clear understanding of ADGM’s institutional priorities and the client’s need for privacy, continuity and alignment with its global footprint. The result was the successful establishment of a long-term presence within ADGM, underpinned by structured co-investment dialogue, ecosystem integration and enduring sovereign relationships.
This mandate reflected our ability to balance the sensitivities of family office strategy with the ambitions of a forward-looking financial centre, delivering institutional alignment while advancing the client’s long-term positioning.
