Thirteen practice areas. One continuous piece of advice.
The practice we market first to clients abroad is child adoption from Pakistan. The other twelve areas remain available for overseas companies and investors with a Pakistan file.
Each area below is staffed to work alongside the others — a financing matter that touches tax, or a real estate development that needs a regulatory approval, moves through the firm without a handoff. Click through to any area for full detail.
Four blocks, thirteen practices, one engagement.
A matter in Pakistan rarely stays inside one statute. A financing brings in the State Bank; an incorporation brings in the SECP; almost everything eventually reaches the FBR. The grouping below is how the firm actually staffs a file, not how a directory would sort it.
Corporate & Finance
Transactions, the money behind them, and the filings that keep them clean.
The firm's largest block of work: incorporation and SECP compliance, lending and security, listings, project and energy structuring, and the tax treatment of all of it.
Regulated & Emerging
Licence-led practices where the regulator decides whether you trade at all.
Fintech and payments under the State Bank, NBFCs and non-profits under the SECP, and virtual assets under PVARA — each one a licence application before it is a business.
Disputes & Public Law
When the matter ends up in front of a judge, a tribunal, or a legislature.
Commercial and regulatory litigation and arbitration, and the drafting of the statutes and rules that others will later argue about.
Family & Property
Personal matters with a Pakistani court or a Pakistani land record at the centre.
Child adoption, and title, succession and possession work on property — the two practices most often instructed by clients who do not live in Pakistan.

Child Adoption & Guardianship
