Environmental Initiatives
The Legal Group is dedicated to safeguarding the environment which is our greatest natural resource. Therefore, many initiatives have been implemented to reduce our carbon footprint. These initiatives include:
- Switching as much as possible from the traditional paper system used by law firms and reinforcing the use of paperless electronic systems;
- TLG encourages all its clients and Team members to recycle paper, cans, etc. and we have a no-plastic policy endorsed by our employees;
- We strive to source materials that can be recycled in all their initiatives, as well as buying locally, which reduces fuel costs.
At TLG, we have a corporate commitment to environmental sustainability. As such, green initiatives are in place and we endeavor to continuously build upon these.
Education
Students: The Legal Group invests in new and young talent to help develop their skills and prepare them for their careers as a way of giving back. The Corporate and Commercial Department accomplishes that by offering, Moot Court Practice Rounds and a comprehensive internship program for those studying or interested in law and related disciplines.
- Moot Court Practice Rounds: TLG hosts teams participating in moot court competitions and offers to them a first-hand feel of the process of an actual court. Participants engage in interesting legal issues, enhance their advocacy, legal research and writing skills while working closely and learning from their peers. Moot Court Competitions are intellectually rewarding and highly enjoyable.
- Internship program: Fostering an environment for development, learning and growth, our Corporate and Commercial Department offers an Internship Program to lawyers, fresh graduate and law students who seek to gain insight into the Corporate & Commercial legal field and the practice of law in the United Arab Emirates, across the Gulf Cooperation Council States and Middle East, North Africa region as a whole.
