Financial Institutions
Oman’s financial institutions have demonstrated resilience in recent years despite global economic uncertainty, a prolonged low oil price environment, and structural changes brought about by the introduction of Islamic finance. Throughout these cycles of challenge and reform, AMJ has acted as a trusted legal adviser to leading domestic and international banks, pension funds, investment funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other financial institutions for more than four decades.
Our finance lawyers are recognised as top-tier practitioners, with proven expertise advising institutions on complex cross-border transactions, day-to-day operational matters, and the full spectrum of business and product developments. We also advise on litigation, enforcement, regulatory compliance, and strategic transactional matters affecting the financial services sector.
The team has extensive experience working closely with Oman’s regulatory authorities on legislative reform relating to banking, brokers, investment advisers, and market regulation. This gives us deep insight into how the industry operates, how regulators approach policy, and how legislation is ultimately implemented in practice.
AMJ’s strength in corporate, regulatory, tax, employment and other specialist practice areas enables us to support financial institutions comprehensively. We advise on capital markets work, mergers and acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures, restructurings and the full range of legal work they undertake for their clients.
Our multi-disciplinary capability gives financial institutions the full-service support they need to navigate increasingly complex and demanding regulatory regimes in Oman and the wider region.
