The seminar constitutes the third edition of the Construction Essentials series
Doha – Leading global law firm Dentons, in collaboration with the Association of Corporate Counsel Middle East (ACCME), hosted the third gathering of construction sector practitioners in Doha last week. The hot topic under discussion was managing the dispute resolution process on construction projects in Qatar.
Dentons' partner Andrew Jones and senior associate Sarah Sage presented key market insights for practitioners facing common issues arising on construction projects in Qatar. The focus of the session was practical advice on dealing with the dispute resolution process and avoiding disputes.
Andrew Jones, partner and Head of Construction in the Middle East at Dentons, commented: "As budget cuts in Qatar are taking effect, there is a rising trend of payment disputes in construction contracts and parties are contemplating formal dispute resolution proceedings."
Dentons' top-rated Middle East construction and dispute resolution team has an in-depth understanding of the nuances of each local market, stemming from more than 50 years of experience advising on major projects in the region. The team advises across the full industry spectrum from initial entry and establishment for foreign bidders, licensing, procurement planning, contract negotiation and drafting to strategic advice during construction, claims settlement and dispute resolution.
