About
Provided by Hadef & Partners
We advise on a range of contentious and non-contentious intellectual property matters, both in terms of specific areas such as trade marks, designs and copyright, and also in the context of our general commercial law practice.
With a team of Arab and Western practitioners and many years of experience within the region and internationally, Hadef & Partners is uniquely placed to offer a ‘one stop’ service to our clients in relation to all aspects of intellectual property.
Our Intellectual Property practice works closely with other practice areas within Hadef & Partners, including the Commercial, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Corporate, and Trade Marks and Brand Protection teams, to deliver a cost-effective and holistic approach to the creation, management, and enforcement of intellectual property rights across all industries and commercial sectors.
We have extensive experience in enforcement proceedings with the relevant Ministries and Government departments in the UAE, and also before the UAE civil and criminal courts.
In addition to being one of the largest practices in the UAE, our Dispute Resolution team has full rights of audience before the UAE and DIFC courts. This provides significant cost savings and avoids the need to instruct external advocates.
For international matters, we work with selected firms who share our commitment to tailored, cost-effective, and commercially focused IP services.
