We are delighted to announce that Diana Hamade has been recognised in the Spear’s 500 2025 edition as a Top Recommended International Family Lawyer, a prestigious accolade reserved for the most influential and respected names in private client law.
This honour places Diana among an elite group of global legal professionals who advise high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals on complex, high-stakes family matters across jurisdictions.
Known for her formidable expertise and discretion, Diana has earned a reputation as the go-to advisor for clients navigating divorce, custody, succession planning, and guardianship under both Sharia and civil law systems. Spear’s praised her work as “legally rigorous yet deeply empathetic,” highlighting her ability to combine cultural sensitivity with strategic insight in some of the region’s most high-profile cases.
The feature also acknowledged Diana’s growing influence in the international legal community, describing her as:
- A trusted advisor to prominent families in the GCC,
- A pioneer in cross-border family law within the UAE’s evolving legal landscape, and
- A thought leader committed to shaping the future of family justice in the region.
Often referred to as the “Diva of Family Law” and affectionately dubbed the “Doyenne” by Spear’s itself, Diana’s inclusion reflects not only her technical excellence, but also her role in elevating the UAE as a jurisdiction of choice for international family law matters.
We are proud to see Diana’s impact recognised at this level, and we congratulate her on this richly deserved accolade.
