About us / Our story

The logo and the story behind it

HAMT HR grew out of client demand. Companies HLB HAMT advised on entering the UAE kept asking the same question: who will employ our people while we set up?

From advisory to infrastructure

For two decades HLB HAMT helped overseas companies structure their entry into the Emirates. The paperwork was the easy part. The hard part was the months between deciding to expand and being able to employ someone legally.

HAMT HR was created to close that gap: licensed entities, an in-house PRO team and a payroll practice that could employ, sponsor and pay people from day one, with the same audit-grade rigour as the parent firm.

The mark

What the compass means

  • The ring

    The circle stands for the whole employment lifecycle we cover, from offer to offboarding, with nothing left outside it.

  • The star

    A four-point compass star: orientation for companies arriving in an unfamiliar market.

  • The orange

    Borrowed from the HLB HAMT palette so the two brands read as one family.

  • The wordmark

    HAMT is the founding name; HR states plainly what we do.

What we hold to

  • Compliance is the product, not a feature
  • One named contact, same-day answers
  • Costs passed through at cost, fees stated in full
  • Say no to work we cannot do properly
