We are proud to announce that AMJ has won the prestigious ‘Oman National Law Firm of the Year’ award at the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) Middle East Awards held in Dubai on October 27, 2021. This accolade brings AMJ’s tally of IFLR’s ‘National Law Firm of the Year’ awards to an impressive and unrivalled 13th time in Oman. The Award recognises the best law firms in each jurisdiction based on the innovation and the complexity of deals completed.  AMJ was also shortlisted for M&A Deal of Year, a highly competitive category, for its work alongside international counsel on the Omantel/Helios Tower Infrastructure transaction which involved the structuring of the sale of Omantel’s passive infrastructure tower assets to the UK-based Helios Tower Plc. 

The annual IFLR Awards brings together leading global and regional corporate law firms to celebrate the most outstanding legal deals that have taken place in the region in the past 12 months.  AMJ’s nomination and achievements highlight the resilience of the Omani market in terms of the quality of transactions and projects being undertaken in the country, particularly given the tough market conditions of the past few years and the challenging pandemic situation.

This latest achievement reaffirms AMJ’s position as a leading Omani law firm, and highlights the benefits of the firms near 40 years of practice in the Sultanate, and involvement in many, ‘first of a kind’ deals and landmark projects that have taken place in Oman and the region.  Its resident team of lawyers includes many of Oman’s most senior and experienced practitioners, recognised as leaders in their fields. The firm’s success is based largely on its ability to draw on expertise gained in multiple innovative deals over the last four decades to respond to changing market conditions and the evolving commercial and legal needs of business and the Omani government.
