Providing Trusted Legal Support Across Various Practice Areas
Projects — Mining & Metals
Jordan’s mining and metals sector, together with its broader energy and natural resources industries, offers opportunities measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars. These projects are among the most complex in the region, requiring careful legal structuring, regulatory approvals, and risk management at every stage. At Al-Omari Law Firm, we have played a central role in guiding clients through the full lifecycle of major mining, metals, and energy ventures, combining deep sector knowledge with unmatched legal expertise.
Our work begins at the foundation: licensing and approvals. We have successfully assisted clients in obtaining exploration and operating licenses from governmental authorities in both the mining and energy sectors, ensuring that each approval is fully compliant with Jordanian law and the regulatory framework governing natural resources. These matters are often high-value, involving foreign investors and state entities, and our firm’s ability to secure licenses efficiently has enabled clients to move forward with confidence in projects worth hundreds of millions.
Equally important is our role in contract drafting and negotiation. From concession agreements with government ministries to joint ventures with private partners and complex supply, offtake, or construction contracts, we tailor every document to safeguard our clients’ interests. We focus on building agreements that minimize legal risk and anticipate potential disputes before they arise, protecting clients against costly interruptions and ensuring smooth project execution.
A cornerstone of our practice is due diligence. Before a single investment is made, we conduct comprehensive legal and regulatory reviews covering land rights, environmental compliance, labor and safety obligations, and financial exposures. This detailed diligence not only ensures full compliance with Jordanian law and international standards but also gives investors and corporate boards the clarity needed to proceed with confidence.
Our commitment does not end with approvals and contracts. We continue to support our clients throughout the implementation and operational phases, advising on regulatory changes, managing relationships with public authorities, and resolving issues as they develop. For more than 30 years, we have partnered with corporations, investors, and developers in the mining, metals, and energy industries—ensuring that their projects are not only legally sound but also strategically positioned for long-term success.
