    Committed to the UAE

    Hadef & Partners is deeply committed to the UAE community, actively engaging in initiatives that support and uplift society in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Our team regularly participates in programs that provide essential support and resources to labour camps, ensuring these workers receive the recognition and assistance they deserve. Additionally, we partner with various local charities to extend our support to the broader community, contributing to causes that address critical social issues and improve the quality of life for residents.

    Beyond our volunteer and charity work, Hadef & Partners is an enthusiastic participant in community events and activities, fostering a sense of solidarity and engagement within the UAE. Our involvement includes participating in numerous sporting events throughout the year, promoting health and well-being among our staff and the community. Notably, we take part in the Dubai Fitness Challenge, an inspiring initiative that encourages an active lifestyle and communal spirit. These activities not only enhance our team’s camaraderie but also reinforce our commitment to the well-being and vibrancy of the community we serve. Through these efforts, Hadef & Partners aims to make a positive and lasting impact, reflecting our dedication to the UAE beyond just legal services.

    Our Training role in the UAE

    Hadef & Partners has been involved in the Dubai Government Legal Affairs Department's Continuing Legal Professional Development (CLPD Programme) from its inception in 2015, and is proud to be one of the five law firms chosen by the Dubai Legal Affairs Department to develop the Mandatory training courses and to participate in training the 3000+ lawyers registered to work in Dubai. Our input has been integral to the success of the CLPD Programme, and in future years, we look to continue our involvement using our knowledge and expertise to help develop the CLPD Programme further.

    The CLPD Programme aims to help raise standards in the Emirate and promote excellence within the legal industry in an ever-evolving scheme that will bring Dubai in line with global best practice and standards. The benefits to the Emirate will be an increased confidence in the legal industry, stimulating growth and defining it as a global legal hub and place to do business. The increased protection of the public will further benefit Dubai and will allow the legal industry to help meet the objectives laid down in the UAE’s Vision 2030.

  • DEI

    Fostering creativity and innovation

    At Hadef & Partners, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are fundamental principles that drive our firm’s culture and operations. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace not only fosters creativity and innovation but also reflects the values of the broader community we serve. Our commitment to DEI is evident through various initiatives and programs designed to support and empower all members of our team. For example, this year, we launched our Diversity & Inclusion client networking series with an event on International Women’s Day, organized by the Hadef & Partners Women’s Network. This series, featuring renowned art historian Rose Balston, provided educational and networking opportunities for women in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. By breaking down barriers and making art accessible to all, the series underscored our dedication to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued.

    Our DEI efforts are embedded in the firm’s leadership and daily practices. We are proud of our multicultural workforce that combined speak over 10 languages. We strive to create a workplace where diversity is celebrated, equity is pursued, and inclusion is practiced daily. Through these concerted efforts, Hadef & Partners aims to lead by example, demonstrating that a commitment to DEI is not just a goal but a continuous journey towards a more equitable and inclusive future.

  • Environment

    Sustainable practices

    Our commitment to the environment and sustainability is a foundation of our corporate responsibility strategy. We recognize the urgent need to address environmental challenges and are dedicated to implementing sustainable practices across all aspects of our operations. Our offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have adopted various green initiatives, such as reducing paper usage through digitalization, implementing energy-efficient systems, promoting recycling programs and reducing the use of plastic. By integrating these eco-friendly practices, we aim to minimize our environmental footprint and contribute to the global effort to combat climate change. Additionally, we encourage our employees to adopt sustainable habits both in the workplace and in their personal lives, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.

    Beyond our internal practices, Hadef & Partners actively engages with the community to promote sustainability and environmental awareness. We participate in and support local environmental initiatives, collaborating with organizations that focus on conservation and sustainability projects. Our firm regularly takes part in community clean-up events and mangrove planting – a key habitat in the Emirates. These efforts are spearheaded by our dedicated Environment, Social & Governance committee, which works to identify new opportunities for the firm to make a positive environmental impact. Through these initiatives, Hadef & Partners not only strives to operate sustainably but also aims to inspire and lead others in the UAE community towards a more sustainable future.
