Ranking Table

Construction: Dispute Resolution

This section covers construction disputes work concerning issues such as extension of time, prolongation, disruption and wrongful termination. The section also focuses on front-end, non-contentious construction mandates such as procurement issues and the structuring and negotiation of contracts. Lawyers are ranked in separate tables for Construction Disputes and Construction: Non-Contentious. However, law firms are awarded a single ranking for Construction, based on their capabilities across both sides of the practice area. Law firms will typically represent contractors, subcontractors, project sponsors (including government entities), architects or design consultants. While there is some overlap between this section and Middle East-Wide Projects & Energy, project finance work is not relevant to this section and should only be submitted to Projects & Energy.
