 In a bid to service the country’s economic expansion and increasing internationalisation, particularly in the commercial and financial sectors, Al Tamimi has opened an office in Oman. Since the country’s accession into the World Trade Organisation in 2000, it has reaped the results of a surge in foreign direct investment. With the government’s focus now homing in on the northern region of Sohar, a town which is situated in the Sultanate of Oman, outside Muscat, development is taking place at a rapid pace following the installment of integrated ports and a new airport. Al Tamimi’s Managing Partner, Husam Hourani believes that the firm’s new office will be strategically positioned to leverage that development. According to Hourani, Al Tamimi has recognised the country’s “impressive and fast-paced development,” and the firm will “strive to support its GCC neighbours and offer both …Omani and [its] international clients a foundation for growth in the industry.” Ahmed Saled, a qualified Court of Appeal lawyer who has practiced in a number of jurisdictions will head the new office. His areas of expertise include corporate finance, joint ventures, inward investment, private equity, M&A and corporate structuring. |
