The Malta Institute of Management (MIM) is organizing a seminar entitled “Islamic Trusts” on Wednesday 18 November 2009 at the Radisson SAS Baypoint in St Julians between 5.00pm and 7.45pm. The seminar attracts both high quality speakers and delegates, including MIM Chairman Reuben Buttigieg, Mario Farrugia Borg and Toby Birch.

Speaking about the upcoming seminar, Reuben Buttigieg, MIM Chairman and Erremme Business Advisors Managing Director, said: “Muslims created trusts from the earliest times of the Islamic era for various purposes. In our era, a trust is created through a legal process of registration that requires the legal expertise of attorneys and other professionals. Malta with its Trusts and Trustees Act has an opportunity in front of it to provide such service to the Islamic Community in the Mediterranean. The 1.5 million muslims in Italy as well as in other Mediterranean countries do not have the appropriate legislation at hand.

The seminar, which has been accredited with 1.5 hours of structured CPE and qualify for the attainment of Professional Competencies in terms of the MIA CPE Regulations, is being held in cooperation with various organizations including MIM and collaborating partners AirMalta, BOV and Business Today. The seminar sponsors are Erremme Business Advisors and Francis J. Vassallo Ltd.
