Hafiz Abdul Baqi & Co

Not every instruction requires litigation or a transaction. A substantial part of the firm's work is advisory: a formal opinion on a question of Pakistani law, a due diligence exercise before a purchase or a loan, or a review of a contract before it is signed.

We also give second opinions on matters already running elsewhere. Clients occasionally want an independent view on the strength of a case or the advice they have received, and we will give one candidly — including where it confirms that the existing approach is correct.

What we do

  • Formal legal opinions on questions of Pakistani law
  • Title and property due diligence reports
  • Corporate and transactional due diligence
  • Due diligence for lenders and financing transactions
  • Contract review and risk assessment
  • Second opinions on matters in progress with other counsel
  • Regulatory and licensing feasibility reviews

How we work

Matters in this area are handled by senior counsel from first instruction to final order. We give a candid view of the merits at the outset — including where a claim is not worth running — and agree fees before work begins rather than after.

If your matter touches more than one of our practice areas, it will be dealt with by the same team rather than passed between departments.

Common Questions

Legal Opinions & Due Diligence: frequently asked

Will you give a second opinion on a case another lawyer is running?

Yes, and it is a normal thing to ask for on a matter of significance. We review the papers and give an independent view. If the advice you have already received is sound, we will tell you so.
