Litigation & Dispute Resolution
The Litigation Department comprises licensed advocates with extensive experience before the courts and competent authorities at every level of litigation in the Sultanate of Oman: every instance nationwide, including the Supreme Court. Over two decades the firm has handled litigation running into the thousands of cases. The Department handles commercial, labour, criminal, administrative and arbitration matters, acting on both sides of the docket, and runs volume litigation as a system: coordinated parallel claims, day-batched hearing portfolios, live enforcement files and system-generated client reporting on every matter.
