REAL ESTATE & CONSTRUCTION

Projects create value. They also create legal complexity.

Property and construction matters combine contracts, timelines, technical issues, payments, ownership interests and dispute risk.

Algharib & Partners LLC advises clients on UAE real estate and construction matters across transactions, contractual relationships and disputes.

THE PRACTICE

Property law and project law often intersect.

Real estate and construction matters can move between transaction, performance and dispute stages.

A property issue may involve ownership, contractual obligations, payment or development arrangements. A construction matter may involve scope, delay, variation, certification, defects or termination.

We focus on the legal framework while keeping the commercial and project context visible throughout the matter.

MATTERS WE HANDLE

Property and project matters. Across the lifecycle.

Different stages of a project or property relationship can require different legal responses.

01

Property Transactions

Legal support concerning property agreements, ownership-related matters and transaction documentation.

02

Development & Project Agreements

Advice on contractual arrangements connected with development and project delivery.

03

Construction Contracts

Drafting, review and interpretation of construction and project-related agreements.

04

Payment & Performance Claims

Legal issues involving payment, performance, certification and contractual obligations.

05

Delay, Variation & Defect Disputes

Contentious matters arising from project timing, changes, quality or performance.

06

Termination & Resolution

Advice where project or property relationships deteriorate and legal resolution becomes necessary.

PROJECT CONTEXT

The contract sits inside a live project.

Construction disputes cannot be understood from the contract alone.

Technical records, correspondence, programme information, variation history and payment documentation may all affect the legal analysis.

Our approach is to connect those materials to the contractual framework so the legal strategy reflects what actually happened on the project.

OUR APPROACH →
HOW WE WORK

From documents to project strategy.

01Map

Identify contracts, parties, obligations and project chronology.

02Analyse

Assess records, notices, payment issues and disputed performance.

03Position

Develop the legal and commercial strategy for negotiation or proceedings.

04Resolve

Advance the matter through settlement, litigation or arbitration as appropriate.

DISPUTE PREVENTION

Clear records can matter before a dispute begins.

Many project disputes are shaped by documentation created long before proceedings start.

Notices, approvals, instructions, payment records and contemporaneous correspondence can become central evidence later.

Early legal input can help clients understand contractual requirements and protect their position as a project develops.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

Contractual discipline. Commercial awareness.

01Documentation

Keep legal analysis tied to the project record and contractual requirements.

02Timing

Recognise that notices, deadlines and procedural steps may affect rights.

03Practicality

Consider how legal steps interact with project delivery and commercial priorities.

04Resolution

Use the dispute route best suited to the contract and the client's objective.
