Will be the sole legal adviser to Qatar General Electricity and Water Co

The Doha office of international law firm, Eversheds, has announced that it has been appointed to advise Qatar General Electricity and Water Co (Kahramaa) in relation to its strategies for the improvement and expansion of electricity and water supply in Qatar. It claims that it is the sole legal adviser appointed to advise the company on implementing and developing Kahramaa’s current strategies to meet the demands of growth through sustainable practice. The firm will be working in consortium with consulting engineering company, Energoprojekt ENTEL and professional services firm, PWC.

According to the announcement, Suzannah Newboult will lead the Eversheds team from Qatar, with additional support from Tim Armsby, partner in Eversheds’ Abu Dhabi projects team.

In the context of her firm being appointed by Kahramaa, Suzannah Newboult said: “Qatar is in a period of rapid growth, which has generated a need for the expansion and improvement of utilities in line with ever-increasing standards for quality and environmental sustainability. We look forward to working with Kahramaa, and its other consultants, to provide the vital infrastructure needed to support the country’s growth. Eversheds has a great track record of working with Qatari organisations on complex projects such as this. Together with Energoprojekt-Entel and PWC, we will take a solutions-led approach to the challenges that the Qatar region and its utilities sector pose.”
