Legal Framework
With assistance from Clyde & Co, this chapter looks at how Qatar’s emphasis on its infrastructure has yielded several interesting legal developments, including a new focus on occupational health, safety and environment (HSE), and a risk-centric consideration of the way in which business is conducted in the construction sector. This chapter also explains the options for foreign business operations and outlines recently passed laws and regulatory changes in Qatar. It also includes a viewpoint with David Salt, Partner at Clyde & Co, on standardising safety regulations.
