  • “The merger of Dar Al Takaful (DAT) and Watania was a unique and complicated process due to the fact that is the first ever merger in the insurance sector in the UAE. There were two layers to the transaction where the shareholders of Watania merged with DAT which was a designated Holding Co. and the policyholders of Watania merged with the wholly owned Takaful subsidiaries of DAT viz. Noor Takaful General and Noor Takaful Family. Hadef played a key role in completing the merger while achieving our objectives and supporting us with the regulators. Yasser Omar played an instrumental role in advising the Boards of DAT and Watania and guiding the regulator on how to complete the merger in the most effective way and designing a process for its completion. We believe this has created a solid precedence for the market/regulator on handling future transactions and we are thankful to Yasser for his remarkable work on the merger.”

  • “We have engaged the services of Hadef & Partners since over 2 decades during which the level of service has been outstanding. The delivery of corporate legal services has always met our high expectation for Integrity, Professionalism, Knowledge and Responsiveness. I have personally dealt with Partner Yasser Omar who has been a key asset during my transition to the CEO position in a context of a multiple families shareholding structure of an SME with multiple subsidiaries and joint ventures that bring additional challenges in terms of governance requirements and crucial alignment at Board and General Assembly level. Hadef & Partners under the leadership of Dr. Faraj Ahneesh and his team give the true meaning of a Corporate Partner that you can rely on at all times.”
