Context

Why independent assurance matters in United Arab Emirates

The UAE runs some of the most contractually intensive programmes in the world: rail, aviation, waterfront and mixed-use megaprojects delivered largely under the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books, with disputes resolved through DIAC (which absorbed the former DIFC-LCIA centre in 2021), arbitrateAD in Abu Dhabi and the UAE courts. When a programme slips, entitlement turns on contemporaneous records, a defensible delay method and a clean baseline. Not on the strength of the argument.

That is where we work. We are appointed by one party, and we build our analysis to be tested by the other. We separate design-change and employer-caused delay from concurrent contractor causes, and structure EOT, prolongation and disruption positions that survive scrutiny. On Etihad Rail Stage 2 & 3 we provided independent systems assurance across construction and commissioning.

FAQ

Working with us in United Arab Emirates

Do you provide forensic delay analysis in the UAE?

Yes. We deliver forensic delay analysis and EOT/quantum claims support across the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider Emirates) to the SCL Delay & Disruption Protocol and AACE standards, built to hold under FIDIC and in DIAC and arbitrateAD arbitration.

Which contract forms do you work under in the UAE?

We work predominantly under the FIDIC 1999 and 2017 suites (Red, Yellow, Silver Book), plus bespoke Emirati forms. We read entitlement through the actual contract mechanism and align it with the SCL Protocol. Under any form, entitlement turns on contemporaneous records, a defensible delay method and a clean baseline, so we build positions to hold in DIAC, arbitrateAD or the UAE courts.

Can you support a live dispute in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

Yes, and the earlier the better. We are most effective while the delay is live and records can still be captured, but we also prepare and rebut claims at the tribunal stage. We are appointed by one party, and we build our analysis to be tested by the other. We separate employer-caused delay from concurrent contractor causes and structure EOT, prolongation and disruption positions that survive scrutiny.
