The regional practice focuses on complex construction and project disputes across the energy, infrastructure and major projects sectors, drawing on arbitration expertise across Asia, Europe and the UK.

Its practitioners’ experience spans high-value international arbitration, cross-border project disputes and strategic advice on distressed projects, including delay, disruption, performance and termination issues.

• 3–5 years’ post-qualification experience gained within a recognised construction disputes team
• Strong contentious construction experience, including meaningful involvement in arbitration proceedings.
• The ability to analyse complex contractual, factual and technical issues.
• Strong drafting skills and sound commercial judgement.
• A clear interest in developing their practice in the Middle East.
