MENA and Cross-Border International Disputes
Supporting Multi-Jurisdictional and Cross-Border Claims
International disputes can involve parties, contracts, projects, assets, and evidence across several countries. Masin coordinates specialists so technical, financial, and commercial opinions remain consistent across jurisdictions.
Common Law and Civil Law Forum Considerations (DIFC/ADGM vs Onshore Courts)
The UAE includes common law jurisdictions such as DIFC and ADGM alongside the onshore civil law system. The forum can influence how expert evidence is prepared and presented. Our experts consider the applicable legal and procedural environment when developing their opinions.
FIDIC Contracts Across MENA Infrastructure Projects
FIDIC contracts are frequently encountered on major infrastructure and construction projects across the region. Disputes may involve delay, variations, payment, disruption, defects, termination, and claims procedures. Masin analyses contractual requirements alongside project records and technical evidence.
