From greenfield power plants to roads and bridges, from railway infrastructure to incinerators, from industrial process plants to hospital developments, and from casino resorts to data centres, we have handled disputes arising from construction and infrastructure projects of varying scales and complexities in Hong Kong, Asia Pacific region, Middle East and the Latin America and have acted for a broad spectrum of project owners, contractors, public bodies and other project participants across the sector.
