Howard Kennedy has many years' experience working with and advising clients from the Middle East with a focus on Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Advising clients in the Middle East for over 35 years, we have extensive experience acting for high-net-worth individuals, government organisations, and international and regional owner-managed businesses.

We also specialise in International Construction projects and disputes and have particular expertise in the FIDIC forms of contract.
