What Al Busaidy Mansoor Jamal & Co. does

Al Busaidy Mansoor Jamal & Co. (AMJ) is Oman's largest independent law firm, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Muscat. The firm operates a seven-partner practice supported by 33 to 42 legal professionals, delivering full-service corporate, commercial, and regulatory legal advisory across 14 practice areas and 12 industries. Its core client base spans the Government of Oman, state-owned enterprises, listed corporates, financial institutions, and private equity sponsors active in the Sultanate. The firm's leadership traces back to founder Said Hilall Al Busaidy, with the modern partnership consolidated through a 2004 merger with the Dr. Said Al Busaidy legal office.

AMJ's service portfolio covers corporate and M&A, banking and finance, capital markets, project finance, dispute resolution, employment, tax, intellectual property, and emerging regulatory areas such as data protection and AI governance. The firm is counsel on Oman's largest and most complex transactions, including the $575 million Omantel tower sale to Helios Towers, a $2 billion OQ-related mandate, the Rakiza Petroleum Fund, the OETC divestment, and the HSBC Bank Oman–Sohar International merger. Its international capability is delivered through co-counsel relationships with Magic Circle firms (Freshfields, Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance) and standing memberships in Lex Mundi, Multilaw, the International Bar Association, and the Arab Lawyers Network.

The firm's revenue model is based on retainer and transaction-based legal fees typical of a corporate law firm, with no disclosed financials. AMJ has been repeatedly recognised by IFLR (multiple National Law Firm of the Year awards), Chambers (multiple Band 1 rankings), and Legal 500, supporting its positioning as the premier independent legal adviser for institutional and government work in Oman. The firm is privately held as a partnership and has continued to invest in capability through targeted senior associate hires and at least one internal partner promotion in the last several years.
