§ Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers before you ever pick up the phone.

The questions we hear most often from clients across litigation, corporate advisory and compliance, answered plainly.

Working With Us

Reach out through our contact form or call our Islamabad office directly. An attorney reviews every inquiry personally and responds within one business day with an initial assessment of your matter.

Yes. Every matter is led personally by one of our attorneys, from the first consultation through resolution. You will always know exactly who is handling your file, and how to reach them.

Yes. Our compliance practice regularly advises businesses with operations or investors outside Pakistan, drawing on direct experience with FCPA, GDPR and SEC or FINRA-aligned standards.

Litigation & Disputes

Our attorneys appear before the High Courts, District Courts, the National Industrial Relations Commission, and specialised tribunals across Pakistan, with direct experience before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Timelines vary widely depending on the court, the complexity of the matter, and whether it proceeds to appeal. We give clients a realistic timeline assessment at the outset rather than an optimistic one, and we flag any opportunity to resolve a matter faster through mediation.

Often, yes. Our IMI-certified mediator leads structured negotiations for disputes where a courtroom outcome would cost more, in time and in relationships, than it is worth.

Corporate, Banking & Compliance

Yes. Contract drafting and vetting is one of our core practices, informed by years spent inside a multinational's own legal department reviewing exactly this kind of agreement.

Yes. We advise on FCPA, GDPR, and SEC or FINRA-aligned obligations for companies whose operations or ownership cross borders, alongside standard Pakistani regulatory compliance.

Yes, extensively. Two of our attorneys built their careers managing recovery litigation and State Bank compliance from inside microfinance banks, so this practice runs deep.

Fees & Confidentiality

Fees depend on the nature and complexity of the matter. Litigation is typically billed per stage or on retainer, while corporate and compliance work is often billed at a fixed project rate. We agree on the fee structure in writing before any work begins.

Yes, without exception. Everything shared in an initial consultation, whether or not you proceed to engage us, is protected by attorney-client confidentiality.

Any relevant documents such as contracts, notices, or correspondence, along with a clear timeline of events. The more context you provide upfront, the more precise our initial assessment will be.
