Neo Legal's Founder and Managing Partner, Harly Zappino, spoke on the "Financial Liquidity: RWA and Fractional Ownership" panel at the International Property Show 2026, held in the Institutional Investors Room at Dubai World Trade Centre on 9 September 2026.
The panel
The discussion brought together a deliberately diverse set of views on where tokenisation and fractional ownership are actually heading in real estate: how property gets accessed, financed and traded when ownership can be split into legally recognised digital tokens, where the model is working, and where it is not yet. Harly appeared alongside Prof Dr Essam Farag Al-Najdy, Victor Madueno, Jehanzeb Awan and Hassan Alladin, moderated by Maxim Talmatchi MRICS.
The Neo Legal angle
Real-world asset tokenisation is one of the firm's most active practice areas, from VARA Category 1 token structuring to title, custody and distribution design for fractionalised property. The legal framework behind the panel conversation is set out in our guide to tokenised real estate under VARA and the wider digital assets and VARA practice.
