I was involved in arbitration proceedings relating to a PKR 347 million consultancy dispute concerning a hydropower project. I also rendered legal opinions to corporate clients on contractual, regulatory, and tax matters, including advising on PKR 1.282 billion tax claims under a World Bank-funded project. I provided governance and compliance advice to a government-owned company under the Companies Act, 2017, and contributed to a legal audit identifying significant financial irregularities. Additionally, I assisted in representing a tax authority before the Lahore High Court, conducted corporate due diligence, and advised on the legal framework for establishing a private university in Punjab, including drafting its charter for legislative approval.
