Facing ballooning losses, Dubai-based construction and engineering company Drake & Scull International PJSC has fired several of its executives, including its chief legal officer, who has been replaced by the firm’s former general counsel.

The company’s board of directors Wednesday voted to terminate CEO Tawfiq Abu Soud—who was hired in late January—along with chief financial officer Khaled Jarrar and CLO Mohamed Ghanem. The firings were announced the following day in a meeting results posting on the company’s website.
