Corporate Practice — Lahore
A corporate law firm built for consequential transactions.
From incorporation to exit: The First Counsel advises companies, boards, and investors from Askari Corporate Towers, Lahore — with the disputes-tested judgment to see, in every clause, the courtroom it might one day visit.
Punjab’s industry — textiles, food, energy, real estate, technology — signs its most important documents in Lahore. A corporate law firm in this city must do more than paper a deal: it must know the CCP’s merger thresholds, the SECP’s filing architecture, the State Bank’s exchange-control perimeter, and the banking and accountability courts where agreements are tested when relationships fail.
The First Counsel practices corporate law alongside white-collar defense, deliberately. Clients get contracts written by lawyers who have defended contracts — and boards get advisers who understand what regulators actually do with a disclosure.
