Barber, who is resident in the firm’s Doha office, advises clients on a wide range of issues, including business compliance, business formation, employment law, construction contracts and dispute resolution.

Barber also advises clients working on major building and infrastructure projects, including the hospitality (hotels and resorts) industry.
