As an Advocate at the High Court of Judicature and Appellate Courts, Pakistan, I advise corporate, institutional, and individual clients on regulatory compliance, statutory obligations, data protection, and IP enforcement. My practice includes legal research, complex drafting, and court representation in civil, commercial, and regulatory matters.

At KDI School, where I’m completing the Master of Intellectual Property and Development with WIPO, I’m researching copyright ownership in AI-generated works and comparing approaches in the United States, China, and South Korea. My work also examines the Marrakesh Treaty’s implementation in Pakistan and the evaluation of draft intellectual property enforcement rules.
