Corporate Litigation

When Disputes Arise, We Litigate.

Overview

Corporate litigation in Pakistan encompasses a wide range of disputes including contractual claims, shareholder disputes, director liability proceedings, intellectual property enforcement, insolvency petitions, and regulatory challenges. These matters are heard by the Company Bench of the High Court, civil courts, SECP, special tribunals, and arbitration panels. Our firm has a dedicated litigation practice that handles complex corporate disputes at all levels of the court system, from trial through appeals to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

The Companies Act 2017 provides several specialized remedies for corporate stakeholders, including applications for investigation into the affairs of a company, petitions for relief against oppression and mismanagement, and winding-up petitions. Additionally, commercial disputes are governed by the Contract Act 1872 and the Specific Relief Act 1877. We have extensive experience filing and defending such matters, with a focus on obtaining urgent interim relief — including injunctions, freezing orders, and appointment of receivers — where the circumstances require immediate court intervention.

Beyond traditional court litigation, we represent clients in arbitration proceedings under the Arbitration Act 1940 and institutional arbitration rules. We also appear before regulatory bodies such as SECP, the Competition Commission of Pakistan, and the Intellectual Property Organization. Our litigation team combines deep procedural knowledge with substantive corporate law expertise, ensuring that every case is prosecuted or defended with precision and strategic insight.
