Al Hashmi Law was founded by Mr Omar Al Hashmi, who is an accomplished bilingual lawyer proficient in Arabic and in English. He started his career as a litigator at a young age with the vision of creating Al Hashmi law as a firm that not only commits to excellence, but also committed to prioritizing its clients’ needs. His vision was to identify and fill in the void between international firms and conventional local firms in Oman as there appeared to be a huge gap in satisfying the non-Arabic speaking international clients and using the services of Arabic speaking lawyers, who were thorough in assisting the clients in the legal process. His vision was also to create a place for all talented lawyers who have the right attitude to serve clients.
Mr Omar Al Hashmi’s in-depth legal experience involves advising on a broad spectrum of contentious and non-contentious matters in all specialties for Omani and international clients. He manages a strong team of legal professionals from different countries, and has developed a strong legal network across the world with affiliations and work associations with several leading law firms through which he provides expert legal services to his clients located in different parts of the world. His office provides full range of legal services, including corporate, commercial, dispute resolution (arbitration, mediation and local and international litigation) besides real estate, construction, tax, etc.
He has gained the trust and confidence of his top-notch Clients by delivering work in perfection and to their satisfaction in Oman and several jurisdictions overseas, including US, the UK and some other European countries. He has been awarded the ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ by the World Bank Group for his contribution to Doing Business 2020 published by the World Bank Group.
Mr Omar Al Hashmi also serves as a Director at Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN) and at the Oman Telecommunication Regulatory Authority.
