MDA Abdulla – Botswana

MDA Abdulla Consulting grew out of a strategic partnership between Abdulla Associates, a firmly entrenched Botswanan firm of consulting engineers, and MDA Consulting, the leading South African construction law consultancy.

This partnership evolved due to the need for an internationally equipped, multidisciplinary consultancy firm specialising in providing tailored commercial and legal advisory services to all stakeholders across the construction, engineering and mining industries.

MDA Abdulla Consulting is geared to innovatively answer clients’ individual needs thereby creating long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. MDA Abdulla Consulting’s staff component consists of professionals who are each internationally qualified with extensive practical experience in both the international and local construction, engineering and mining industries ensuring that at all times our clients receive world-class advice and service at competitive rates.
