Petrochemicals
With the availability of cheap feedstock and a low labour cost base, the Middle East has become a leading global centre for the petrochemical industry. The sector is continuing to grow very rapidly.
We are able to provide legal support on all aspects of the petrochemical value-chain. We have experience of advising governments and project developers on project implementation agreements and the setting up of joint ventures. We advise on the drafting and negotiation of feedstock supply and technology licence agreements. We act on off-take and marketing arrangements.
Our work has given us an in-depth understanding of the legal and commercial issues relevant to the successful establishment of world-scale integrated projects. Our team is also able to advise on upstream oil and gas issues, and on the development of projects using project finance.
