Corporate and M&A
AMJ’s Corporate and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) practice is recognised as a market leader in Oman. We assist businesses entering, operating, expanding or restructuring in the Omani market to achieve their commercial objectives efficiently and strategically.
Our lawyers combine technical expertise and in-depth knowledge of Omani law, language and business practice with a strong understanding of regional markets and global trends.
The team advises both principals and financial advisers on the full spectrum of domestic and cross-border public and private M&A transactions, joint ventures and strategic investments. Clients rely on us to guide them through every stage of inward investment projects — including licensing and incorporation, the establishment of branch and representative offices, and the creation of 100% foreign-owned entities under the US–Oman Free Trade Agreement and within Oman’s free zones.
Our team also advises government entities and state-owned enterprises on privatisations and strategic partnerships across key sectors such as transport, logistics and power. This often includes support during corporatisation phases prior to IPOs, as well as guidance on the transition of national employees from public to private sector operations.
We routinely advise on compliance and governance matters, including sector-specific regulations, listing rules, corporate governance best practice, and issues such as directors’ liabilities, insider trading, anti–money laundering, employment and labour relations, health and safety, environmental regulation and trade sanctions.
Our corporate lawyers work seamlessly with colleagues in Banking and Finance, Commercial, and other specialist teams to ensure our clients’ legal and commercial interests are protected and their risks effectively managed at every stage of the transaction.
