Document background
Project Alliance Agreements are typically used for complex, high-value projects in the UAE where traditional contracting approaches may not effectively address project risks and complexities. This document type is particularly relevant when projects require deep collaboration between multiple stakeholders and where innovation and collective problem-solving are critical to project success. The agreement structure follows UAE legal requirements while incorporating international best practices in alliance contracting. It establishes governance frameworks, risk-sharing mechanisms, and commercial models that promote collaborative behaviors and align all parties' interests with project objectives. The Project Alliance Agreement is especially suitable for major infrastructure, construction, and development projects where scope definition may evolve and where stakeholder alignment is crucial for project success.
