Doha—Leading global law firm Dentons, in collaboration with the Association of Corporate Counsel Middle East (ACCME), hosted its second gathering of the year for construction sector practitioners in Doha recently. The latest topic under discussion was how best to handle common issues which arise during construction projects in Qatar.

Dentons' 2016 Construction Essentials series focuses on sharing valuable market insights for practitioners navigating construction projects in Qatar. Dentons partner Zaher Nammour and associate Sarah Stewart explored topics relating to variations, delay and extensions of time, damages, suspension and termination.

Andrew Jones, partner and Head of Construction in the Middle East at Dentons, commented: "Understanding contractual provisions in the context of Qatar law helps industry practitioners to find practical solutions to the issues that arise on construction projects. Our Construction Essentials series provides a platform for practitioners to consider the key challenges facing the local construction industry."
