EPC & Projects
EPC Dispute Rapid Assessment
A swift, expert-led evaluation of potential disputes in EPC contracts. We deploy our seasoned litigators and engineers to quickly analyze claims, variations, delays or payment issues as they arise. Clients receive an early case assessment outlining strengths, weaknesses, and strategic options for resolution. This rapid intervention allows contractors and project owners to make informed decisions on whether to negotiate, mediate, or escalate the dispute, saving time and controlling risk from the outset.
EPC Dispute Resolution (Negotiation → Mediation → Litigation/Arbitration)
Comprehensive representation in all forms of dispute resolution, from amicable settlement discussions and mediation through to arbitration and court litigation. Aljamhor Law’s litigation practice is our flagship: we have a market-leading record in complex construction disputes and arbitration before both local courts and international tribunals. Our team handles Claims & Variations Recovery (operating as a “Claims Office” for contractors under retainer), Extension of Time (EOT) and delay claims (including defense against Liquidated Damages), Payment & Certification disputes, and Termination/Suspension remedies. We prioritize resolving issues efficiently (often through negotiated settlements or mediation) but stand ready to act decisively in arbitration or litigation, leveraging deep knowledge of construction law and procedure to secure the best outcomes for our clients.
Contract Risk Review & Negotiation (EPC/Subcontracts/FIDIC)
Careful review and skillful negotiation of contracts at all tiers of a project (main EPC contracts, subcontracts, consortium agreements), with special proficiency in FIDIC and other industry-standard forms. Our multidisciplinary team scrutinizes technical scopes, payment terms, risk allocations (e.g. variations, force majeure, liability caps) and performance security provisions to protect our client’s interests. We then negotiate with counterparties (or assist in negotiations) to achieve fair contract terms that mitigate risk and align with the project’s commercial objectives. This service gives contractors, project owners, and suppliers peace of mind that their contracts are robust, clear, and enforceable – reducing the likelihood of disputes down the line.
JV / Consortium / Subcontracting Pack (PPP)
A complete legal support package for Joint Ventures, consortia, and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements in the project sector. We advise on structuring JV or consortium agreements among contractors (or between contractors and investors) to pursue large projects, ensuring responsibilities and profits are clearly apportioned. For PPP projects, we assist private sector participants in negotiating concession agreements and government contracts, safeguarding their rights while meeting regulatory requirements. This offering includes drafting all ancillary agreements (shareholders agreements, consortium MOUs, subcontracts) and establishing any special purpose vehicles. By leveraging our experience in multi-party project setups, we help clients form collaborative partnerships that are legally sound and positioned for success.

Financing (Project & Infrastructure Finance)
Advisory services for the financing needs of EPC and infrastructure projects. We counsel project developers, sponsors, and contractors on raising capital and structuring finance agreements to fund their projects. This includes negotiating terms with banks or investors for project finance loans, Islamic financing, export credit facilities, or bond issuances. We also assist in security documentation (guarantees, mortgages, assignments of project receivables) and ensure compliance with local financing regulations. By combining legal expertise with financial acumen, we help clients secure the necessary funding on favorable terms while protecting their interests and keeping the project’s risk allocation in balance.
