About

Provided by Hadef & Partners

With almost two decades of practical experience, Hadef & Partners' construction lawyers have extensive technical expertise in engineering and construction law across the UAE and MENA region. Our team handles complex issues spanning project conception to completion – from drafting contracts, navigating regulatory approvals to resolving multi-faceted disputes through litigation and arbitration.

In particular, Hadef has profound expertise in tackling thorny issues like delay and disruption disputes, defective works, payment claims, performance guarantees and termination of contracts. We represent a broad spectrum of clients including developers, contractors, consultants, funders and suppliers. Our key clients in Dubai comprise leading names like Johnson Controls, Al Ghurair Construction, Nurol LLC, Tristar Engineering among others.

Additionally, our Abu Dhabi practice allows close coordination with government departments and ruling family interests granting a balanced approach to disputes resolution. Our localized expertise in litigation and arbitration sets Hadef apart from global firms without such capabilities.
