The Construction Brief

The Middle East is seeing significant construction and infrastructure activity, but the scale and complexity of its projects are also changing how stakeholders approach contracts, risk and dispute resolution.

In the first episode of The Construction Brief, Raneem Salha, Associate in Al Tamimi & Company’s Real Estate practice, is joined by Leith Al Ali, Of Counsel in the Construction & Infrastructure practice, to discuss the construction landscape across the UAE and wider GCC and the issues developers, contractors, suppliers and other project stakeholders should be thinking about.

From FIDIC and increasingly bespoke contractual structures to cost escalation, supply chain disruption, risk allocation and dispute resolution, the conversation looks at how the region’s construction market is evolving and what that means in practice.

Leith also shares his advice for businesses entering the market and why getting the legal and commercial foundations of a project right from the outset can make all the difference.

The Construction Brief is an Al Tamimi & Company podcast exploring the legal insights, commercial challenges and industry conversations shaping construction and infrastructure across the Middle East.
