Al Tamimi & Company has hired Scott Lambert as regional head of construction and infrastructure from Australian law firm Holding Redlich.
The move by the Middle East’s largest law firm is aimed at capitalizing on the ongoing construction and infrastructure boom in the region.
The firm recently acted for a major government owned developer regarding the design and construction of a complex multimillion dollar iconic business tower.
“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Scott to his new role, especially at a time where the sector is experiencing such significant growth across the region,” said Husam Hourani, managing partner at Al Tamimi, in a statement. “Scott's extensive experience in the legal sector, especially within construction and infrastructure, will enable him to share valuable insights into how we can develop our construction and infrastructure practice further, and ensure the growth and development of the practice across the region.”
Al Tamimi currently has 500 employees, including 50 partners, and offices in all six GCC countries. Last year, it opened offices in Ras Al Khaimah, Erbil, Muscat and Manama.
