Jane Miles

Seasoned construction and engineering law specialist; 15 years of experience in the Middle East based in Dubai, UAE.

A seasoned construction and engineering lawyer with over 15 years’ worth of Middle East experience, I am strategy-focused and commercial in my outlook when it comes to identifying solutions to drive forward a project or overcome challenges. A team-orientated professional, my clients know that their concerns are my priority; senior colleagues can depend on me, whilst junior colleagues know I will support them when they need help: my door is always open to them.

I am a pivotal member of the team, with an enthusiasm to succeed both individually and collectively; in essence, I am a highly motivated self-starter capable of working flexibly (to accommodate changing deadlines/order of priority) and remaining calm under pressure. I also enjoy the challenges that working in such a broad sector and across a region that has a constantly evolving legal landscape presents: the continued opportunity to learn from different projects and people, the need to be adaptable and the necessity to be creative when faced with unique or difficult circumstances.

Having spent a considerable part of my career in private practice, I am business-focused: I enjoy business development and understand the value of well-executed initiatives and know how to effectively engage with clients and peers in the industry.
