The Saudi construction industry is experiencing significant growth and transformation, making effective contract administration more critical than ever. With the introduction of the Saudi Civil Transactions Law, construction professionals are facing new considerations in the interpretation, administration, and enforcement of FIDIC contracts within the Saudi legal framework.
This webinar will explore the practical challenges arising from application of FIDIC Contracts in KSA Construction Industry and the interaction between FIDIC contractual provisions and the new KSA Civil Law, with a particular focus on how the new legal framework may affect contractual interpretation, claims, variations, dispute resolution, contractual obligations, and the enforcement of contractual rights and remedies.
The session will also highlight practical considerations for Employers, Contractors, Consultants, Claims Professionals, and Legal Practitioners involved in KSA projects, helping participants better understand how to administer FIDIC contracts effectively while taking into account the requirements and principles of the new Saudi legal framework.
🎯Understanding the contract is essential. Understanding the law governing the contract is even more important.
