Trowers & Hamlins has appointed Majid Al Toky as managing partner of its Oman office, marking the first time a local lawyer has headed up one of its Middle East offices. Al Toky, who specialises in projects, oil and gas and telecoms, replaces Sean Angle, who left Trowers late last month to work with another firm in Dubai.
