AMJ, won the prestigious ‘ Oman Law Firm of the Year’ award at the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) Middle East Awards held on October 14, 2020. This accolade brings AMJ’s tally of IFLR’s ‘National Law Firm of the Year’ awards to an impressive and unrivalled 12 (twelve) times in Oman.

The annual IFLR Award brings together leading global and regional corporate law firms to celebrate the most outstanding legal deals that have taken place in the region in the past 12 months. The award recognises the best law firms in each jurisdiction based on the innovation and the complexity of deals completed. AMJ was also shortlisted by the IFLR alongside the GCC’s top, global law firms for three shortlisted transactions as well as a slate of other legally ground-breaking deals. The firm acted as sole legal counsel to the issuer and underwriters on the Government of Oman’s local sukuk, which included a slew of firsts and novel Omani law issues. It helped structure the Rakiza Master Fund, a first of its kind infrastructure fund of the Government of Oman. The project required a full revision of all applicable Omani laws. A team also worked on the landmark privatisation of the Oman Electricity Transmission Company to State Grid International Development.

AMJ is a top-tier, globally-rated, independent, commercial law firm and the largest in Oman. In 2020, the firm celebrated 40 years of existence, and involvement in most, ‘first of a kind’ deals and landmark projects that have taken place in Oman and the region. Its resident team of lawyers includes many of Oman’s most senior and experienced practitioners, recognised as leaders in their fields. They are able to draw on expertise gained in multiple innovative deals over more than three decades to respond to changing market conditions and the evolving commercial and legal needs of business and government.
