- Contractors and subcontractors managing claims, disputes or contract risk.

Clarity before risk becomes entrenched

- Selecting the appropriate dispute resolution mechanism for the matter and jurisdiction.

How We Work
Construction disputes are complex and often involve significant sums. We bring technical understanding of construction contracts and claims to every matter, working closely with technical experts where required to build robust legal cases.
UAE and Egyptian construction projects operate within distinct regulatory, contractual and dispute-resolution frameworks. Cross-border projects or disputes involving both markets require careful consideration of the applicable contractual framework, governing law and appropriate dispute-resolution strategy.
