Provided by Hadef & Partners

Hadef & Partners is regarded as having a deep understanding of our region's business and legal environment. Our international and regional clients gain the benefit of our long-standing presence in the UAE, which corresponds to a wealth of knowledge and contacts in relation to the structuring and conduct of business. 

In the UAE, we regularly advise on significant equity capital market transactions, as well as substantial private placements, privatisations, corporate mergers, disposals and acquisitions, and restructurings.

A large part of our corporate offering consists of the provision of legal advice in relation to the formation of companies, establishment of branch and representative offices, and related agency and sponsorship arrangements, both inside and outside the UAE's free zones and special economic areas. The firm has acted in the establishment of the vast majority of premier public and private joint stock companies in the UAE.

Whether completing a groundbreaking public equities offering or setting up a business in a free zone, our 30 years of experience in the UAE ensures our clients receive a well-rounded and considered service.

Our lawyers pioneered western style IPOs in the UAE and have advised on more IPOs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai than any other law firm. On many occasions, we assisted in the creation of procedures and standards used by governmental authorities.
