Ron Nobbs has more than three decades of experience working for clients on construction infrastructure and engineering projects around the world, including more than ten years working with clients in the Middle East. From civil, power, waste, and oil and gas projects, to roads, rail, airport, commercial, sports and leisure, and residential schemes, Ron has worked on some of the world’s largest projects. He joined Stephenson Harwood in London in June 2012.

“We are thrilled to be welcoming Ron to Dubai,” said Rania Tadros (pictured left), Dubai office managing partner, Stephenson Harwood. “We’ve set an ambitious target to grow our contentious and non-contentious construction offering over the next five years, with the aim of it becoming a multi-partner practice with a number of additional associate hires too”.

“It’s an exciting time to be involved in construction in the GCC, with activity increasing year on year,” commented Nobbs. “We’re seeing an increase in foreign investors into the region, which in turn is helping to boost the construction market. The projects involved are often vast and hugely complex, and that’s where we can add real value by bringing experience honed over decades of practice, and genuine insight into the region and industry. We have ambitious plans to grow our construction capabilities in the region so that we can support more clients on bigger projects and disputes.”
