As the Middle East continues its unprecedented construction boom, driven by ambitious giga-projects and smart city initiatives, understanding the evolving landscape is now more critical than ever.

For lawyers, this presents unparalleled opportunities and the chance to be involved in transformative developments, but it also demands a high level of specialisation to navigate its complexities.

Join us for an engaging half-day event in Dubai and an opportunity to unpack some of the hottest topics in construction law.

During panel discussions moderated by Law Middle East editor Aishah Hussain, the speakers will discuss the latest trends and opportunities shaping the future of construction in the region.

The speakers, who will be announced in due course, will explore best practices across the project lifecycle, from planning to execution to handover. The discussions will also cover effective strategies for risk mitigation in large-scale developments, alongside an exploration of the emergence of new contract models and their implications. The speakers will also identify the key funding sources for major construction projects, including the growing prominence of sovereign wealth funds and public-private partnerships (PPPs), and analyse the latest regulatory changes in the region.

Further, the speakers will provide insights into navigating and resolving disputes, with a particular focus on the evolving landscape of arbitration in the region. Finally, attendees will gain practical strategies for building and sustaining a market-leading construction practice, and understand the essential skills and personal attributes that define a successful construction lawyer in this dynamic market.

This event will offer plentiful discussion and opportunities for networking. It is aimed at lawyers both in private practice and in-house, as well as construction professionals in related industries.
