Our capital markets team is top-ranked by global legal directories and recognised as a market leader across a broad spectrum of capital markets transactions in Oman including initial public offerings (IPOs), secondary fundraisings including rights issues and private placements of securities. The team also advises on cross-border transactions originating in Oman, or which involve Omani issuers, borrowers or investors including bond and note issuances, Euro medium-term note (EMTN) programmes, exchangeable and convertible bonds, sovereign and quasi-sovereign issues, sukuk and collateralised debt obligations (CDOs). Our capital markets team has also participated in international transactions that involved Rule 144A offerings.

We provide market players, including major financial institutions, government entities, investors and blue chip companies as well as first time issuers and other participants in the capital markets, with advice on transactions and policy. As our practice is balanced between issuer and underwriter mandates, our clients receive commercial, insightful advice from lawyers with a complete understanding of both sides of a transaction. Our capital markets lawyers work alongside our regulatory, banking and finance, restructuring and other specialists to provide integrated legal advice for all our clients’ capital markets activities.

We also provide advice to regulators, government departments and industry bodies on the legislative developments that shape the market. Our market-leading position is endorsed by top-tier rankings in all of the major legal directories over a number of years.
