Attended by over 100 senior representatives from all across Doha's construction and infrastructure community, the seminar hosted by international law firm, Eversheds proved to be a great success.
Topics covered at the seminar included procurement, developments in dispute resolution, including arbitration and the handling of claims. The event was opened by Regional Chairman, Christopher Jobson, who called on attendees to consider the needs of the next decade and the central necessity of achieving best practice for the benefit of the World Cup and the 2030 Vision in Qatar.
Other speakers included experts from Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC), Qatar Lagoon, EC Harris, the built assets consultancy, and partners and associates from Eversheds.
Chairman of Eversheds Middle East business, Christopher Jobson, commented:
"Construction and Qatar currently go hand in hand with the current boom. Being one of the key practise areas Eversheds covers, it is vital that we keep ourselves updated and act as the thought leaders that we are. By hosting a seminar such as this, we were able to share our insights in the industry and cover key topics including liability caps, arbitration, liquid damages and claims avoidance among other topics."
