The Muscat office launch is in response to growing client demand in the Middle East
UK-headquartered insurance focused law firm Kennedys has strengthened its presence in the Middle East by launching an office in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman.
The new office will be the firm’s second in the Middle East after Dubai. It will be led by insurance, construction and disputes partner Jamie Kellick, who joined Kennedys’ Dubai office in 2019 from Addleshaw Goddard.
The Muscat office launch is in response to growing client demand in the Middle East and will see Kennedys lay claim to being the only international insurance-focused law firm in the country, the firm said in a statement.
Last October, Kennedys snapped up four-partner Tel Aviv boutique Zelichov Ben-Dan & Co, making it one of the first international firms to offer local law advice in Israel. The firm also opened an office in Leeds back in February, and expanded its US reach with an office in San Francisco last June.
