The Middle East is one of the most active global markets in the development and delivery of significant infrastructure projects reflecting the region's drive for transformational economic change. Al Tamimi's Projects Team are actively advising key participants in this sector, including governments, lenders, sponsors, contractors and operators and have been involved in many of the leading and innovative transactions in the region.

Our experience extends across the industries at the core of the Middle East's growth—Power &amp; Transmission, Water &amp; Waste, Oil &amp; Gas, Rail &amp; Transport and Infrastructure. The diverse local and international expertise of our lawyers means we can advise our clients on the critical local law issues affecting their project. We have also developed strong relationships with government officials, key regulators and ministries across the region, which ensures that our lawyers are fully aware of new developments in legislation as they arise, as well as their practical implications.

As the largest law firm in the Middle East we have the depth of resources to advise on all aspects of a project, from the initial bid to project structuring and completion of the transaction to operation.
