Lahore, Pakistan
Lawyers in Lahore for the matters that matter.
The First Counsel practices from Askari Corporate Towers, Lahore — corporate lawyers for consequential transactions, defense advocates for serious investigations, and a partner on every matter.
Lahore is Pakistan’s second commercial city and Punjab’s legal capital: the seat of the Lahore High Court, the province’s accountability and special courts, and the industry that appears before them. A company or an individual searching for lawyers in Lahore is usually facing one of two moments — a transaction that must be built properly, or an accusation that must be answered properly. The First Counsel was built for both.
The firm pairs corporate practice — mergers and acquisitions, private capital, banking, projects, and the contracts that carry them — with white-collar defense before NAB, FIA, and the regulators. The pairing is deliberate: the lawyer who drafts your agreement understands the courtroom where it may one day be read aloud.

Questions
Finding a lawyer in Lahore.
Two disciplines under one roof: corporate lawyers for transactions, contracts, and regulatory work, and defense advocates for white-collar, NAB, FIA, and regulatory proceedings. Every matter is led by a named partner.
The Lahore High Court, the accountability and special courts of Punjab, banking courts, and tribunals of the federal regulators. See our profiles of the courts for how each forum works.
Write briefly through the contact page. The firm replies within one business day, runs a conflicts check, and confirms any engagement in writing before work begins.
Yes — a 24-hour partner line exists precisely for dawn raids, arrests, asset freezes, and injunctions. It reaches a partner, not a message.
