Real Estate & Construction
As Qatar continues to develop, the contracts underlying that work determine the allocation of risk. We manage acquisitions, leases and development transactions, and intervene when delays, defects or payment claims escalate into disputes.
What We Handle
On the transactional side, we assist with property acquisitions and sales, due diligence, lease agreements and the legal aspects of real estate investment and development. On the contentious side, we handle construction disputes, including delays, defects, payment claims and contract terminations, through negotiation, adjudication or arbitration.
