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.

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.
