Compass is excited to announce the launch of our new Contract & Claims Advisory service line, created to deliver comprehensive support to contractors, consultants, and project owners across the UAE, KSA, and the broader Middle East. This service strengthens Compass’ ability to help clients tackle complex construction contracts, resolve disputes, and prevent project delays by managing risks upfront.
As noted in a recent article by Construction Week Middle East, this expansion underscores our commitment to providing end-to-end solutions that empower clients to navigate the complexities of construction projects with confidence. Similarly, Middle East Consultant also recognized Compass for enhancing client support by adding a highly specialized advisory focus to our services in the region.
Leading this service is Edward McCluskey, Head of Contracts & Advisory. With over 30 years of expertise in procurement, commercial management, and dispute resolution, Edward offers clients an invaluable combination of technical and legal knowledge. As both a Chartered Quantity Surveyor and Chartered Arbitrator, he provides targeted support on critical issues, including contract claims resolution, proactive claims management, and construction-related dispute resolution. McCluskey’s high-profile appointments by institutions such as the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) further establish his reputation as a trusted authority in arbitration, mediation, and contract claims management across the Middle East.
