We at Global Law Experts are pleased to welcome Rawan Noubani as our Exclusive Member for Foreign Investment law in Jordan. Rawan joins the GLE network as a seasoned practitioner and founder of RN Law, bringing more than a decade and a half of regulatory, transactional and dispute‑resolution experience to investors and businesses considering or operating in the Hashemite Kingdom. Her practical focus on banking, insurance, fintech, healthcare, real estate and renewable projects makes her a valuable advisor for inbound investors and Jordanian sponsors alike.
Rawan Noubani trained in Jordanian law and was admitted to the Jordanian Bar in 2008, after completing her law degree in Amman. She began her career in house within the banking sector and later held senior advisory and leadership positions in professional services before founding RN Law (Al Noubani & Partner), a boutique Amman practice. These combined roles gave her hands‑on exposure to banking operations, financial regulation, commercial litigation and complex transactional structuring.
Under Rawan’s leadership RN Law has developed a distinct practice at the intersection of corporate law, regulatory compliance and legal‑tech, and she has been selected to serve as an arbitrator in high‑value insurance disputes. Her cross‑sector experience and in‑house perspective are central to her ability to deliver commercially attuned legal solutions to foreign investors navigating Jordanian law.
Rawan’s practice covers the full lifecycle of inward investment: market entry strategy, corporate structuring, licensing and regulatory approvals, incentive eligibility assessments, joint ventures, real estate compliance, employment structuring and exit planning. She routinely advises on cross‑border M&A, project development agreements, investment joint ventures and complex commercial contracts essential to investment transactions. This breadth of transactional experience positions her to help clients align commercial objectives with the procedural and regulatory realities of Jordan.
She regularly supports projects in regulated sectors banking & finance, insurance, fintech & technology, healthcare, real estate and renewable energy where sectoral licensing and specialised compliance regimes are decisive for success. Her prior in‑house roles within banks and her arbitration experience add particular value when transactions intersect with financial covenants, regulatory oversight or contentious risk.
Global Law Experts highlights practitioners who combine deep local knowledge with demonstrable cross‑border experience. Rawan’s combination of banking sector experience, senior advisory roles at professional services firms and the founding of RN Law aligns with this standard. Her appointment as an arbitrator in insurance disputes and the firm’s visible engagement on regulatory reforms further evidence professional recognition in both advisory and contentious work.
RN Law’s specialisation in legal‑tech, insurance disputes and investment‑grade transactional work offers practical advantages for investors that seek streamlined, technology‑aware legal support alongside classic corporate and regulatory counsel. We at GLE are proud to present Rawan to businesses and individuals who need senior counsel able to coordinate cross‑border advisers, government agencies and financial stakeholders.
Foreign Investment law in Jordan has evolved markedly in recent years to attract strategic inward capital while strengthening regulatory safeguards. The Investment Environment Law and related incentive frameworks provide formal pathways for tax incentives, sectoral exemptions and development‑zone benefits, but many projects still require multi‑agency approvals and sectoral licences. Investors therefore face a mixture of attractive incentives coupled with administrative complexity.
Recent policy developments ranging from reforms to sectoral licensing to new residency and citizenship‑by‑investment frameworks reflect a government agenda to both broaden investor appeal and tighten oversight. At the same time, Jordan recorded notable increases in FDI inflows in recent reporting periods, underscoring both opportunity and the need for careful legal planning. Navigating this dynamic regulatory backdrop requires lawyers who can turn policy shifts into operational clarity for investors.
Investors commonly encounter a set of repeatable challenges: sectoral licensing hurdles, synchronising municipal land‑use permissions with national investment approvals, ensuring eligibility for incentives under the Investment Environment Law, structuring capital to enable repatriation, and aligning employment arrangements with local labour and social security requirements. Each of these areas may involve distinct government agencies and different timelines.
Sector‑specific issues for example, new rules affecting insurance contracts or emergent virtual assets regulation pose additional compliance questions for regulated projects. Timely legal advice is essential to anticipate approval timelines, mitigate administrative risk and design enforceable contractual protections that will stand up to local administrative and judicial scrutiny.
Engaging a lawyer who combines transactional skill, regulatory fluency and dispute‑avoidance experience reduces execution risk and preserves deal value. Rawan’s background in bank legal teams and professional services, together with RN Law’s focus on integrated, time‑sensitive solutions, enables clients to sequence corporate, regulatory and financial clearances in a way that minimises delay and exposure.
Investors benefit from counsel that drafts investment‑grade documentation, coordinates multi‑agency submissions, secures incentive eligibility and structures exits with repatriation and tax considerations in view. This practical, cross‑disciplinary approach is particularly important when projects sit at the interface of regulated financial services, healthcare, renewable energy or technology.
Rawan represents a wide range of clients including international investors seeking market entry into Jordan, regional corporates expanding across the Levant, project sponsors in energy and healthcare, fintech and technology companies, financial institutions and insurers. She also advises Jordanian promoters seeking foreign partners and cross‑border joint ventures that require careful corporate and regulatory design. Her clients value concise risk analysis, practical implementation roadmaps and dispute‑aware drafting that preserves commercial flexibility.
When onboarding new foreign investment mandates, Rawan typically conducts an early‑stage regulatory scan to map licensing, incentive eligibility and likely timelines. That is followed by corporate structuring advice aligned with tax repatriation mechanisms and financing covenants, plus bespoke employment and land‑use checks where relevant. Her arbitration and insurance dispute experience also informs contingency planning and contract clauses designed to limit enforcement risk.
For technology and fintech projects, RN Law’s legal‑tech focus means contracts, data protection and IT governance are reviewed in parallel with investment approvals reducing the risk of later non‑compliance that could derail operational launches. This integrated method helps investors move from commitment to commercial operation with fewer surprises.
Foreign Investment law in Jordan is an area of real opportunity and nuanced regulatory detail. Having a senior practitioner who combines in‑house banking experience, cross‑border transactional work and arbitration skill materially improves the odds of a successful investment. Rawan Noubani’s record of advisory work, regulatory engagement and dispute experience makes her an excellent resource for investors and Jordanian promoters navigating this market.
We at Global Law Experts are delighted to feature Rawan as our Exclusive Member for Foreign Investment law in Jordan. Businesses and individuals seeking senior, pragmatic legal counsel on market entry, licensing, incentives, transactional documentation or dispute‑aware structuring will find her practice well suited to the demands of cross‑border investment in the region. Welcome to the GLE network, Rawan.
