The Doha office of K&L Gates has hired construction specialist Matthew Walker as a partner in its energy, infrastructure and resources practice from Dentons.

With a focus on construction law and dispute resolution, Walker has experience in ICC arbitrations and alternative dispute resolution in Qatar as well as in the wider Middle East region. He also provides non-contentious construction advice, having worked on projects in the Middle East and the UK.

“Matthew’s skills and experience are well known to K&L Gates lawyers who have already worked closely with him on rail and other projects in Qatar,” said Michael Johns, Administrative Partner of K&L Gates’ Middle East offices, in a statement. “We are delighted that he is joining our team at such an exciting time in the development of our Qatar and Middle East practice.”
