The core reason that Mr Hanafin first established Huriya Private was to provide private advisory services to a select number of families and private individuals.

His team that surrounds him at the firm brings decades of professional finance services experience with an international network of contacts and a deep understanding of the needs of the modern day high net worth client of international family. Huriya Private understands that the right to freedom of movement is a fundamental right, preserved in the laws and constitutions of most countries.
