Dr. Tarek Riad assesses the evolving landscape of the legal profession, and the need for specialised education to bridge the gap between university studies and market demands. Networking events, he notes, have become one of the more reliable ways to identify top-tier talent in an environment crowded with thousands of new graduates.
The conversation moves into economic territory, where Riad critiques the practical challenges of merger regulations and identifies oil, gas and food as Egypt's most promising sectors for investment. On new taxation policies in Dubai, he suggests that transparency requirements may pose a greater challenge to businesses than the tax rates themselves.
He closes on something more personal: how physical activity, water skiing and walking among it, serves as an essential tool for mental clarity and creative problem-solving.
