We advise contractors, developers, engineering firms, insurers, and other stakeholders across all stages of the construction process — providing strategic support in both contentious and non-contentious matters. Our expertise spans from bidding and project execution to dispute resolution, with deep familiarity across standard forms such as FIDIC, JCT, and NEC4. Having served as project counsel on major collaborative and alliance-based projects, and with strong experience across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, we offer practical, tailored guidance through every phase of the construction cycle.
We advise clients across all aspects of project finance, delivering sophisticated legal support for complex funding structures. Our team is experienced in creating Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and finance vehicles, and in drafting the full range of project documentation — including Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Finance Facility Agreements, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Agreements, and Project Development Agreements. We are adept at structuring Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts, Split EPCs, and complex Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs).
Beyond traditional infrastructure and energy sectors, we also support the financing of technology ventures and emerging industries. The matters listed represent just a sample of our capabilities — we provide end-to-end legal support across a wide spectrum of project finance opportunities, ensuring our clients are positioned for long-term success.
With extensive experience advising startups, growth companies, and investment firms, we deliver strategic legal support across the full spectrum of private equity and venture capital transactions. Our services include, among others, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), leveraged buyouts (LBOs), management buyouts (MBOs), fund formation, and regulatory compliance.
Our team is distinguished by a global perspective, having successfully advised on transactions across the Middle East, Asia, USA, and Europe. Combining deep insight into startup dynamics with technical excellence in complex investment structures, we provide clients with holistic, practical guidance at every stage of the investment lifecycle.
Our Saudi litigation practice is led by a diverse team of male and female lawyers, representing clients across all courts and judicial committees throughout the Kingdom. We are skilled in pre-litigation negotiations, often securing favorable settlements in complex, high-stakes disputes.
Our team has successfully represented Saudi and international clients across a wide range of sectors, including construction, engineering, oil and gas, advertising, investments, healthcare, and employment. Our advocacy has been recognized at the highest levels, with Saudi judges at times referring our arguments to the Supreme Judiciary for verification of complex jurisprudential points.
From commercial claims and corporate disputes to labor cases and regulatory matters, we deliver strategic, results-driven representation tailored to each client's needs.
Our firm has extensive experience representing clients in arbitrations across Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, achieving a proven track record of success. We handle both ad hoc and institutional arbitrations, including proceedings under LCIA, ICC, BADR-AAA, DIAC, and SADR rules.
Beyond advocacy, our team members have been appointed as arbitrators by the Saudi Council of Engineers and regularly serve as court-appointed expert witnesses on complex legal and technical matters. While particularly strong in construction disputes, our arbitration practice spans diverse sectors, including banking, employment, and shipping. Through strategic advocacy, detailed reporting, and practical settlement facilitation, we help clients secure favorable outcomes in high-stakes arbitration proceedings worldwide.
We are uniquely positioned to support clients from the earliest stages of project development — often before design or construction begins. Acting for Employers and major stakeholders, we draft and tailor all necessary project documentation, manage procurement processes, and assist during bidding stages to ensure seamless project delivery.
Beyond traditional legal support, we actively manage contracts, advise on alliance and partnering models, and proactively mitigate disputes across the project lifecycle. Our experience extends to emerging areas such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), addressing legal issues involving intellectual property, engineering defaults, product liability, and regulatory compliance.
By integrating legal strategy into every phase of development, we help clients deliver projects smoothly, efficiently, and with reduced risk.
