What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply litigation and advisory skills to complex legal matters, contribute to client strategy, and continue pro bono work supporting vulnerable populations.

I am an experienced advocate enrolled with the Sindh Bar Council, holding an M.A. in Economics and an LLB. Over two decades I have practiced across civil, family, corporate, banking, tax and service law, developing practical courtroom skills, legal drafting ability and client-focused dispute resolution strategies.

I have served as a retained law officer and consultant for corporations, provided pro bono legal assistance through British Council juvenile projects, and represented clients in tribunals and courts on matters including sales tax, customs, labor and property. I deliver clear legal opinions, manage case files and counsel clients to achieve pragmatic outcomes.
