Always wanting to further his legal knowledge, Hamad Al–Yafei enrolled at Qatar University for a Master’s of Laws and is set to graduate soon. Getting a Master’s degree is one way of ensuring that he has more knowledge to give his clients the best legal advice and services. Ever the academic, Al–Yafei has also done various short courses in law.
Over the years, Al–Yafei has become a leading voice in law in Qatar and is one of the most sought-after lawyers. As someone who is always updated in every new concept in law, he is always writing think pieces in various publications on different aspects of the law and lending his expertise to help people when required.
