Giga-projects like NEOM operate at a scale and complexity that combines large transaction structuring, government contracting rules, and construction law considerations all at once, meaning businesses contracting into these projects need attorneys comfortable across multiple legal dimensions simultaneously.
This scale genuinely changes what matters in a contract — provisions that might be secondary in a standard commercial agreement can carry enormous financial weight given the size of giga-project contracts.
This falls under our Public Projects & PPP service within Real Estate & Construction, and many giga-project components involve public-private partnership structures with their own specific risk allocation and government coordination requirements distinct from purely private commercial arrangements.
We help businesses understand this PPP framework early, since misunderstanding the specific structure a giga-project component uses can create real complications in bid preparation and contract negotiation.
This connects to our M&A practice within Corporate & Commercial, often alongside government contracting rules, and businesses acquiring stakes in giga-project-related ventures or being acquired themselves need due diligence that accounts for the specific regulatory and contractual complexity these projects carry.
We support both buy-side and sell-side transactions with attention to how giga-project involvement affects deal value and structuring.
Giga-project contracts follow government procurement rules with genuinely significant compliance implications given the contract values involved, and our Public & Regulatory practice helps businesses navigate tender requirements where a technical disqualification means losing access to genuinely substantial opportunities.
We help businesses prepare bids that meet these requirements precisely, since the scale involved makes getting this right considerably more consequential than in standard commercial tenders.
Beyond transaction and procurement work, giga-projects involve construction and delivery considerations at a scale that raises distinct questions around phased delivery, milestone payment structures, and how delay or defect liability actually works across genuinely massive, multi-year projects.
We coordinate this construction dimension with the broader transactional and regulatory work, since these dimensions genuinely interconnect at this scale.
Giga-projects frequently involve international consortium partners bringing specialized expertise, and structuring these partnerships requires attention to how risk, profit, and control are actually allocated among multiple parties, often across different jurisdictions and legal traditions.
We help both Saudi entities and international partners navigate these complex multi-party structures with realistic expectations built in from the start.
Given the value and complexity involved, disputes connected to giga-projects require attorneys who understand both the underlying commercial or construction issue and the specific procedural context these major national projects operate within.
We coordinate across our relevant practices where a dispute spans multiple dimensions, ensuring genuine sector-specific understanding carries through the entire matter.
