Ice Miller partner Mike Tirman will be moderating a panel discussion titled "Shariah Compliant Direct Investment, Real Estate, Private Equity and Alternative Assets – Cross Border Opportunities" at the annual IFN UK Forum, the Islamic finance industry’s longest running and leading European event.

The UK as an investment destination for Shariah compliant direct investment – an update of active sectors and activities. What is the continued role and scale of Shariah compliant real estate assets in the UK? How do we position the UK as a centre for originating alternative asset classes, and what opportunities are on offer. Structuring co-investments between domestic UK investors with international Shariah compliant investors – the potential for real estate and direct investment transactions. Building on the success of the Battersea redevelopment: structuring deals that incorporate elements of real estate, capital markets, and cross border investment. With Tawarruq enjoying a privileged tax position for cross border UK investment, is it now a funding structure of choice?
