Abu Dhabi and Dubai offer bright and committed lawyers and support staff the opportunity to work in unique legal jurisdictions within the Middle East.

We continue to recruit high calibre lawyers and support staff. We seek applicants with a sound academic background, relevant professional experience, commercial acumen and an understanding of business development.

The UAE is a federation of seven Emirates situated on the Arabian Gulf in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula. The Emirates are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain. Hadef & Partners has two offices in the UAE: one in Abu Dhabi, the federal capital; and the other in Dubai, a recognised centre of trade and finance in the Middle East.

In recent times, expatriates flocked to the UAE, attracted by the lifestyle and economic opportunities available in this oil-rich, tax-free country, and now make up more than 80% of the population. The UAE has recorded one of the highest population growth rates in the world over the past two decades, sustained by an economic boom as the UAE grew its petroleum production capacity and diversified its revenue base into tourism, trade and services. The UAE's current total population is estimated at about 5 million.

Our lawyers and staff include both UAE nationals and foreign who originate from and are qualified in a range of Middle Eastern and western jurisdictions. The diversified mix of nationalities among our workforce reflects the homogeneous society of the UAE.
