Four Seasons DIFC, The Monogram Room

In a region where construction and infrastructure projects are on the rise, the effective management of subsequent disputes is critical for all involved – from procurers and developers to contractors and financiers, and everyone in between.
Join our session to hear from a panel of experienced construction professionals from Norton Rose Fulbright, HKA and 4 Pump Court, who will explore the anatomy of a construction dispute in the Middle East. Our panellists will take you through every aspect of a construction dispute, including the key issues that typically arise in a construction dispute, how clients can manage their project risk to mitigate some of these issues, and the best forums for managing and resolving disputes.
