You should not have to take three weeks off work and fly 4,000 miles to deal with a land record, a court date or a stubborn relative. We act for Pakistanis abroad under an attested power of attorney — you instruct us once, and we handle the rest on the ground in Pakistan.
Distance is what makes a legal problem in Pakistan expensive. A case that a resident could deal with in an afternoon — collecting a fard, filing a reply, attending one hearing — becomes a flight, a hotel and unpaid leave when you live in Manchester or Dubai. And because everybody involved knows you are not there, matters that ought to be simple have a way of drifting for years.
Our answer is straightforward: you never need to be physically present. Pakistani law lets you appoint an advocate through a power of attorney executed and attested where you live, and that document lets us appear, file, collect, inspect and negotiate exactly as if you were standing in the room. What you get instead of travel is written reporting — what happened at each hearing, what the other side argued, and what it means for you.
Most of our overseas work falls into four areas: land and property that somebody else has taken or transferred, inheritance shares that were never recorded, family matters where one spouse is abroad, and company or investment work for people building something in Pakistan from outside it.
Illegal possession, a forged sale deed, a mutation recorded behind your back, or a relative who has quietly treated your plot as their own. We start with the land record and work out what actually happened before we file anything.
A parent died, the land is still in their name, and the co-heirs are in no hurry. We get the succession documentation in place and, if cooperation does not come, force a partition through the court.
Divorce, khula, dower, maintenance and custody where one spouse lives abroad — including the Union Council registration and the certified copies that foreign authorities ask to see.
Drafting, attestation guidance and registration of the power of attorney itself, plus affidavits, NADRA records, certified copies and the paperwork banks and registries demand.
Incorporating with the SECP, opening a branch or liaison office, shareholder and joint-venture agreements, and due diligence before you send money.
A relative arrested, an auction about to happen, a deadline running while you sleep in another timezone. Send the papers and we will tell you the same day what can be done.
Do not worry if you are missing some of these — bring what you have. Part of our job is obtaining the rest.
In the great majority of matters, no. A power of attorney attested at the Pakistani embassy, consulate or High Commission where you live allows us to act for you in court and before the revenue, registration and Union Council offices. Where a specific step genuinely requires you in person, we identify it at the outset so that it is a known part of the plan rather than a surprise.
You receive a written note after each hearing or filing, and you can ask for the case number and check the cause list independently. We would rather you verify than take our word for it.
English, Urdu and Punjabi. Correspondence and reporting can be in English throughout if that is easier for you.
Yes, and it is confidential whether or not you go on to instruct us. We would rather spend half an hour telling you that you have no case than take a fee for running a hopeless one.
Yes. We frequently liaise with solicitors, accountants and probate practitioners in the UK, the Gulf and North America where a Pakistani asset forms part of a larger estate or transaction.
Tell us the situation and we will tell you honestly where you stand — whether or not you go on to instruct us. Everything you share is confidential.
