Energy, Projects & Infrastructure
The firm's energy and projects practice is led by a director who returns to FALC from a general counsel role with an international energy major, one of very few Omani lawyers to have held such a position outside the Sultanate. The practice covers the full project lifecycle: project development and financing, EPC and O&M arrangements, PPAs and offtake agreements, joint development and consortium agreements, environmental permitting and regulatory compliance, across oil and gas, petrochemicals, refining, power, renewables and the energy transition, in direct alignment with Oman Vision 2040 and the Sultanate's Net Zero 2050 commitments.
