Zaair Abbas

I’m a junior lawyer building my criminal defence practice through day-to-day research and drafting for active matters before the Lahore High Court and subordinate courts.

At Sayeed, Hafeez & Mirza, I’ve researched criminal statutes, case law, and procedure, then converted that work into structured legal memoranda for wrongful confinement trial work (Sections 342/506-B PPC) and NAB/accountability proceedings.

I also handle bail and limitation research, analyse recall of interlocutory orders, and prepared a constitutional amicus brief on FIR disclosure and criminal record definitions using comparative research across the UK, New Zealand, Canada, and the US.

Outside the courtroom, I’ve drafted and reviewed commercial contracts and recovery notices at Barry's Fabrics, supported partner-supervised corporate/regulatory work as a Summer Associate, and produced regulatory analysis briefs and arbitration research for internships.
