Construction in the Middle East: Conflict causation and new approaches to avoidance and resolution

In Association with

HKA, in conjunction with the WBEF and RICS, invite you to join this second webinar which is focused on the findings of HKA’s Crux Insights 2020.

The construction sector is worth an estimated US$1.5tn to the Middle East economy and, like elsewhere, is hamstrung by costly and avoidable disputes. How do trends in dispute prevalence, causation and resolution in the region compare to the rest of the world? What are the key commercial and cultural considerations for businesses seeking to break into the Middle East market? And how has the COVID-19 crisis inspired new, digitalised approaches to conflict avoidance and resolution?

Our panel of experts will discuss:

• a regional analysis of the current dispute resolution climate;
• actionable advice to pre-empt recurring problems; and
• viable routes forward for the industry over the next year and beyond.
