What this session will cover

We look at the Middle East’s continued programme of ambitious infrastructure projects, in the context of disputes arising in the construction sector from today’s global challenges, from geopolitical risks and economic instability to evolving regulatory frameworks and supply chain disruptions.

In an increasingly volatile world, geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, and economic instability are reshaping the global construction landscape, leading to heightened risks and disputes.

Our panel of experts panel will:

  • Examine how these uncertainties impact construction projects, from contract negotiation to dispute resolution, and discuss strategies to mitigate risks and protect stakeholder interests.
  • Provide insights into emerging trends, practical solutions, and best practices for managing disputes in this evolving environment.
  • Explore dispute resolution mechanisms in major infrastructure developments and the advancement of digital tools and technologies which can play a role in mitigating conflicts and resolving disputes.
