Practice Areas Construction & Projects

Our Attorneys Represent Parties Involved in Construction and Projects throughout the MENA Region

Construction projects present a host of legal issues for all parties involved. The same is true of infrastructure and other major development projects. Our firm represents all parties involved in construction, infrastructure, and other projects in the Middle East—handling regulatory and transactional matters as well as dispute resolution.

At GLA & Co, we have significant experience advising clients concerning legal issues under the laws of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and other Middle Eastern nations. This includes specifically legal issues related to large-scale development projects. In addition, we represent local companies and companies headquartered around the world, and we work with companies both directly and through their primary counsel in other jurisdictions.

Our Services for Construction and PPP Projects in the Middle East

We provide comprehensive legal representation for companies targeting construction and other projects in the Middle East. This includes advising companies regarding matters such as:

Construction & Infrastructure Law

Our attorneys advise companies on all aspects of compliance with Middle Eastern construction and infrastructure laws. In addition, we help our clients identify and address potential regulatory hurdles proactively so that they do not disrupt our clients’ projects once they are underway.

Bid/Tender Process

Our attorneys also advise companies on all aspects of the bid/tender process in the Middle East. We rely on our local experience to help our clients submit competitive and compliant bids while adequately protecting their legal and financial interests.

Government Contracts

We have experience reviewing and negotiating government contracts for major construction and infrastructure projects in several Middle Eastern nations. If your company (or one of your firm’s clients) is seeking a government contract for a construction or other project in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we can assist with all aspects of moving forward.

PPP Expertise

Our lawyers have been involved in some of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) projects throughout the region and have an intimate relationship with the following regulatory bodies that administer these large projects in the GCC:

• Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects;
• The PPP Unit of the Dubai Department of Finance; and
• Saudi National Center for Privatization and PPP (NCP)
