On the frontier of disputes in the Middle East: Giga projects, economic diversification and the role of arbitration

In recent years mega-projects have come to the fore as a driver of significant growth in the Middle East.  But as they move from planning, to development, to realisation, disputes, will, and have, invariably begun to arise. In this session, a panel of regional experts, drawn from the construction and legal sectors, will examine the unique complexities that such disputes pose, and the role of arbitration, dispute boards and other forms of ADR, in resolving them.

Panellists will include:

• Teresa Laboucarie-Polak (Linklaters) - moderator
• Anneliese Day KC (Fountain Court)
• Julian Hodda (Neom)
• Ahmed Ibrahim (Independent Arbitrator and Founder of Ibrahim ADR)
• Haroon Niazi (HKA)
• Christian Alberti (Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration)
