French lawmakers back bill to end ‘marital duty’

In a significant corporate development reshaping the regional business landscape, two established entities—Helen & Sons and BBK—have officially entered into a strategic joint venture. This collaboration is strategically designed to substantially broaden the scope and depth of comprehensive business support services throughout the United Arab Emirates and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

The newly formed partnership leverages the complementary strengths of both organizations. Helen & Sons brings its extensive, on-the-ground expertise and a robust network of regional client relationships, while BBK contributes its specialized knowledge in financial advisory, corporate structuring, and international market integration. This synergy is expected to create a formidable new player in the regional market, capable of delivering an enhanced, one-stop-shop portfolio of services. These services are anticipated to encompass areas such as strategic management consulting, financial auditing, regulatory compliance, and market entry facilitation for international corporations.

The strategic move is a direct response to the rapidly evolving and increasingly sophisticated economic environment within the GCC. By combining resources and expertise, the joint venture is uniquely positioned to address the complex challenges and capitalize on the burgeoning opportunities presented by regional economic diversification initiatives, such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s continued focus on becoming a global business hub. This expansion signifies a major commitment to fostering greater economic growth and stability across the Gulf states, providing both local and international businesses with more integrated and powerful support structures to navigate the market successfully.
