Oman’s financial institutions have performed solidly in recent years despite the struggling global economy, low oil price environment, and structural shake-up following the introduction of Islamic finance.  AMJ has acted as trusted legal adviser to leading domestic and international banks, pensions, investment, and sovereign wealth funds, and other financial institutions for more than 30 years through recurring cycles of challenge and change.

Our finance lawyers are recognised as top-tier practitioners with proven expertise in advising institutions on high-level, complex cross-border transactions, day-to-day operations, the full range of business and product developments, as well as on litigation, enforcement and compliance. The team also has extensive experience of working with Oman’s regulators on legislative reform relating to banks, brokers, investment advisers and market regulation. This gives us real insight into how the finance industry operates, how the regulators think and work, as well as how policy is translated into legislation and implemented.

The firm’s strength in corporate, regulatory and other specialist areas enables it also to advise financial institutions on tax and employment issues as well as the work that they do for their clients including capital markets activity, M & A, dispositions, and joint ventures. The firm’s capability across practice areas provides clients with a unique, full-service practice essential to navigate increasingly complex and demanding regulatory regimes.
