Employment
AMJ’s Employment practice advises national, regional and international employers across all industry sectors who are establishing or managing a workforce in Oman.
We provide comprehensive guidance on all aspects of Omani labour law and practice, as well as immigration, residency, and social security regulations.
Our lawyers assist clients in managing the respective rights and obligations of employers and employees throughout the full employment lifecycle.
We regularly advise on employment issues arising from corporate acquisitions and restructurings, including the transfer of employees and related compliance requirements.
Our team also keeps clients informed of changes to government regulations and directives that affect workforce management and employee relations.
In the event of disputes, we provide mediation, pre-litigation advice, and — when required through our associate firm, Said Al Busaidy & Co.— representation before tribunals and all tiers of the Omani courts.
