Pakistan counsel for clients in the United States
New York, New Jersey, Texas, California and the rest of the US. All thirteen practices. Hearings and regulator meetings stay in Lahore. You stay where you are.
US companies instructing Pakistan work usually need a local company, a sector licence, a bank file or a dispute. US-based Pakistanis use the personal desk for property and family. Documents are notarised in the US and legalised for Pakistan (apostille where the Convention applies, or consular attestation). We do not advise on US federal or state law.
Family and property files that are already written up for this country: USA overseas-Pakistani desk. Method: how we work with clients abroad. China groups looking only for payments, NBFC or crypto should use the China desk.
