The Role

• Advise on major construction, infrastructure, and energy disputes across the Middle East.
• Act on international arbitrations (DIFC-LCIA, ICC, UNCITRAL, and ad-hoc), as well as litigation before the DIFC and local courts.
• Collaborate closely with partners acknowledged by Legal 500 and Chambers for their experience in construction and engineering disputes.
• Be part of a growing practice, with the firm recently expanding its footprint in Riyadh to complement its established offices in Qatar and the UAE.

Candidate Requirements

• Strong track record in international arbitration and litigation within the construction sector.
• Excellent drafting, advocacy, and client relationship skills.
• Regional experience or language skills a plus, but not essential.

This role offers exceptional career progression, first-rate training, and the chance to work at the forefront of construction arbitration and disputes in one of the world's most dynamic regions.
If you are interested in advancing your career in the Middle East with a market-leading team, we would be pleased to hear from you. For more information, please send your CV and supporting details in confidence to or apply via this website.
