About

Oman’s third-largest lender by assets, Bank Dhofar announced plans to raise its capital by up to $300m in 2015. As its acting legal head, Mohammed Abdel Mohamed managed some of its largest regional and global transactions. Heading a small team across legal and non-legal, he has completely overhauled the function’s processes, drafting comprehensive guidelines and automating systems. Mohamed says it is the opportunity to ‘think out of the box’ in the face of ‘unprecedented legal issues’ which gives him most satisfaction in his role as in-house counsel.
