DLA Piper

The finance and projects department at DLA Piper stands out for its ‘excellent knowledge of the construction law and market in the Middle East’. It advises clients most notably on contentious matters, where the team frequently represents companies in international arbitration. The team's experience also extends to regulatory and advisory roles in the real estate, energy and construction sectors, including the development and financing of public infrastructure, leasing of workspaces and other projects. Andrew Mackenzie co-heads the team with George Vlavianos and Nacim Bounouara. Duncan Pickering adds significant real estate expertise to the department.
