Pakistan counsel for clients in the United Kingdom
Every KBL practice area, instructed from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow or elsewhere in the UK. Apostille from the FCDO is accepted. You do not need to fly to Lahore to start.
UK companies use this desk for a Pakistan subsidiary, a licence, a dispute or a deal document. UK-based Pakistanis use the same firm for property, inheritance and family court files. Working language is English. We advise on Pakistani law only — not English or Scots law. Power of attorney can be signed at the High Commission in London, the consulates, or before a UK notary with an FCDO apostille.
Family and property files that are already written up for this country: UK overseas-Pakistani desk. Method: how we work with clients abroad. China groups looking only for payments, NBFC or crypto should use the China desk.
