Summary of Research Interests
Mohamad is a multi-disciplinary researcher in law and construction project management. He holds an LLB with Honours, a Construction Law LLM, and an MSc in Project and Enterprise Management. His interests focus on the law of mortgages, building contracts, Islamic finance law, and construction supply chain management.
Mohamad’s doctoral research at the University of Cambridge focuses on the Islamic and common law mortgage of England and Wales. He is particularly studying the various legal implications that Islamic common-law mortgages carry in a secular legal system. The aim of the thesis is to expound on the existing literature on Islamic home finance, including mortgages, and propound a property law definition of the Islamic common law mortgage, which is the gap the PhD aims to cover.
Mohamad is an Associate Tutor of the University of East Anglia in International Construction Law and Dispute Resolution. He has worked in various law firms across the Middle East, focusing on international construction disputes, building contracts, aviation M&As, and project programme management.
