Confidential next step
Make the commercial decision with the legal structure clear.
Share the business objective, transaction stage and essential documents for a confidential preliminary review. The firm can identify the Pakistan-law workstream and a suitable scope, subject to conflicts and written engagement.
Submission does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Formal advice begins only after conflict checks, identity verification, scope and fees, and written engagement.
Documents commonly reviewed
Prepare the record before the legal route is selected.
- Certificate of incorporation and constitutional documents
- Current shareholder, director and beneficial-ownership records
- Board or shareholder approvals and signing authorities
- Contracts, term sheets, notices and material correspondence
- Regulatory, tax or licence records relevant to the question
- A concise transaction or dispute chronology
Material risks

The firm checks the parties, confirms who it can act for and requests appropriate identification through a controlled channel.
- Document and legal review
Relevant agreements, notices, records, evidence and authority papers are reviewed against the agreed Pakistan-law scope.
- Scope and fee confirmation
The proposed work, responsibilities, fees, communication method and any foreign-counsel coordination are confirmed in writing.
- Written engagement
Legal work begins only after the conflict check, verification and written engagement requirements are complete.
Frequently asked questions
Questions to address before instruction.
Can a business request an ongoing corporate legal retainer?
Yes. The suitable structure depends on expected volume, response needs, excluded work, reporting and the people authorised to instruct the firm. Litigation, filings and major transactions may require a separate scope.
Does the firm guarantee SECP, FBR or other regulatory approval?
No. The firm may prepare, review or coordinate submissions, but approval and timing remain with the relevant authority and depend on complete, accurate information.
Can foreign in-house counsel instruct the firm directly?
Yes, subject to conflict checks, client and authority verification, scope, billing arrangements and clarity about which counsel is responsible for each jurisdiction.
What should be reviewed before a company signs a major contract?
At minimum, confirm party identity, signatory authority, commercial scope, payment, liability, confidentiality, intellectual-property ownership, termination, governing law, forum and practical enforcement.
