AMJ has consolidated its leading position in Oman’s market for legal services with a record number of top rankings and recommendations in the Legal 500 EMEA 2015 edition. Released in April, this independent annual guide to law firms in Europe, Middle East and Africa ranks AMJ as a top-tier firm in all five areas of legal practice reviewed, making it the only law firm in Oman to achieve top-tier status across the board in banking and finance, corporate and M&A, dispute resolution, projects and energy and shipping.

Two of the firm’s partners make the Legal 500’s list of elite ‘leading lawyers’ and five lawyers are recommended in the editorial commentary. Managing partner, Mansoor Malik, described by the guide as ‘a prominent figure in the Oman legal market’ is named as a leading lawyer for both his projects and energy and corporate and M&A practices, a unique achievement in the jurisdiction. He is also recommended for banking and finance. Senior partner, Dr Said Al Busaidy, referred to as ‘one of the greatest legal figures in Oman’, is recommended for dispute resolution. Partner Marcus Pery is a leading lawyer for banking and finance and recommended for corporate and M&A. Partner Ardeshir Patel wins two recommendations, one for corporate and M&A and the other for banking and finance and Special Counsel, Graham Mouat, is recommended for shipping.

Managing partner Mansoor Malik remarked “We are delighted with these very strong Legal 500 results. It is an outstanding achievement and reflects hard work and dedication of the whole firm.” He added, “The Legal 500 rankings are especially rewarding as they focus on client feedback and a rigorous benchmarking process. They vindicate our philosophy of putting clients first and of continually striving to maintain the quality of our service and improve our processes.”

The Legal 500 is a leading global directory which uses a mix of independent research, client feedback and peer recognition to evaluate the performance of legal service providers around the world.
