AMJ’s Dispute Resolution practice is recognised as a market leader in Oman. Our reputation is built on the unrivalled depth of our practice and a 40-year track record of success in handling complex, high-profile disputes before the Omani courts and in domestic and international arbitrations for an exceptional roster of national, regional and international clients lead by Mansoor Jamal Malik.

Our arbitration team includes lawyers experienced in both domestic and international arbitration of complex public and private law disputes. Their experience encompasses acting as arbitrators and lead counsel before the Omani courts and in international proceedings conducted under ICSID, UNCITRAL, ICC, and LCIA rules.
Our practice is recognised for its practical and commercially focused approach to dispute resolution, employing a range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods to achieve effective out-of-court settlements wherever possible.
