Industries

Where the law meets the sector.

Each industry draws on several practices at once: a licence, a contract and a tax question can sit in the same file.

Technology and Telecommunications

Technology businesses grow faster than the law that governs them. We help telecom operators, software companies and digital platforms secure their licences, draft the contracts they depend on, protect their intellectual property, and prepare for rules on data and artificial intelligence that are still taking shape.

Energy and Power

Power projects are financed on the strength of long-term agreements, approved tariffs and stable regulation. We advise developers, lenders and public entities on project and power purchase agreements, approvals before the power regulator, restructuring, and the disputes that arise when those foundations are tested.

Regulatory · Commercial · Arbitration

Oil and Gas

The sector is shaped by licensing, pricing, supply and long-term project agreements. We advise on regulatory compliance before the sector regulator, supply and distribution contracts, joint ventures and project agreements, tax and fiscal questions, and disputes and arbitration.

Regulatory · Taxation · Arbitration

Construction and Infrastructure

Infrastructure is built on contracts that must hold for years through changing costs, timelines and public priorities. We advise owners, contractors, lenders and public agencies from tender to completion on procurement, construction and project finance documents, approvals, and disputes when a project departs from its plan.

Procurement · Commercial · Arbitration

Healthcare

Healthcare providers must meet clinical and regulatory standards at the same time. We advise hospitals, clinics and healthcare groups on licensing, inspection and quality requirements under the Punjab Healthcare Commission, which supervises public and private establishments alike, and act for them when a regulatory decision is contested.

Regulatory · Administrative

Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical businesses operate under licensing, registration, pricing and advertising rules set by the national drug regulator. We advise on product registration and licensing, regulatory compliance and inspections, distribution and licensing agreements, and disputes with regulators.

Regulatory · Commercial · IP

Real Estate

Development and housing schemes depend on approvals, land records and title that must be checked carefully. In September 2026 the Punjab government announced plans for new rules for housing societies, including digital revenue records, digitised scheme approvals, registration of property dealers and third-party verification of development costs. We advise on title, approvals, development agreements, compliance and disputes.

Commercial · Administrative

Public Sector and Government

Public decisions carry legal consequences, and they are reviewed in court. We advise government departments, statutory bodies and public companies on legality, procedure and policy before a decision is taken, and represent them in constitutional and writ proceedings.
