Anthony Blazevic.

About Anthony.

On the front end, Anthony has reviewed, drafted and negotiated standard-form and bespoke building contracts for commercial projects, including acting for a national commercial builder on the design and construction of a large-format retail precinct, along with consultancy agreements and the protection and access arrangements that sit around a build. On the back end, he has run defective-works, termination and loss-of-profit disputes, advised on warranty insurance claims, handled builder insolvency situations, engaged and managed technical experts, and instructed counsel through interlocutory hearings, mediations and trials.

At Neo Legal he works within the firm's construction practice on the contracts and claims that define UAE projects: FIDIC reviews and schedules of amendments, subcontract packages drafted genuinely back-to-back, defective-works and termination advice under the Civil Code's muqawala rules, and the claim preparation, expert coordination and evidence discipline that arbitration-bound disputes demand.

Anthony's working method is close-contact: understand the client's commercial objectives first, then use the contract and the record to get there with the least friction the dispute allows.
