About

I’m Sherif G. Hassan, a litigation and translation professional based in Muscat. I currently manage litigation support and translation at KPMG Muscat and serve as a counsellor in international commercial arbitration, working with our Dubai HQ to translate UAE and Oman legislation and to support tax appeals and regulatory matters. I also provide consecutive and simultaneous interpretation for high-profile government engagements and VAT training workshops.

Earlier in my career I ran Empire Translation Co. in Cairo, led a translation department for a major construction group in Saudi Archirodon, and freelanced as an interpreter/translator while building a network across the Gulf, Middle East, Europe, and North America. I love turning complex legal and technical material into precise, accessible language and helping teams communicate across cultures.
