Legal Excellence. Without Compromise
We bring to our clients a full service offering that covers all major areas of law. From proactively building the best solutions for our clients in advance to securing their interests through litigious processes, we offer a vast range of services across:

A uniquely Islamic ethos is at the core of our approach
Driven by Mission. Powered by Values
Headstart Legal is proud to practice its values. As an Islamically-oriented practice, we eschew legal matters and cases that may bring us into conflict with our values and principles. We forego matters that deal with interest (riba) and decline acting for clients for whom we’d have to compromise our ethics. Our legal practice is inspired by Islamic concepts of justice, as well as the boundaries it sets when it comes to truth, honesty and integrity.
Our Team: Powered by Ihsan
Headstart Legal is the brainchild of a formidable and ambitious Founder, Abdulla Rahhal. Of Palestinian descent, Abdulla has always had his backs to the wall, and yet scaled incredible heights in his own career.
As the painful story of his people has taught him all too well, justice is often elusive and needs to be strived for. And that is what drives the Isalmically-driven ethos of Headstart Legal.
Abdulla Rahhal
Founder & Principal Solicitor
Abdulla founded Headstart Legal after gaining a variety of experiences working as Legal Counsel as well as a Director of Fundraising and Communications at a leading International Not for Profit Organisation.
