Litigation & Arbitration

With alternate dispute resolution methods becoming widely popular and more convenient than traditional dispute resolving solutions, companies and foreign entities that enter into business transactions in Oman are increasingly opting to resolve their commercial disputes through Arbitration.
Arbitration was first introduced in Oman in 1997 as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. Since then, MAL offers tailored solutions in harmony with client needs for the disputes they are dealing with.
Our reputation as a leading boutique arbitration firm emanates from the peerless depth of our practice and from our credentials of success in handling complex claims before the key jurisdictions of Omani courts.
We are known for adopting a pragmatic approach to disputes by implementing alternate dispute resolution methods in order to reach an extra-judicial settlement and in cases where legal proceedings cannot be avoided, we provide our clients expert guidance through every stage of arbitration processes.
Our team involves in every aspect of arbitration procedures such as drafting, aiding in the selection of arbitration seats, advising on the appointment of arbitrators, representing the client from the commencement of arbitration until the final hearing of the matter, seeking interim methods of protection from courts and assists in enforcing arbitral awards.
