Corporate and Commercial
Companies, commerce, employment, capital markets, banking and Shariah-compliant finance.
ALIPA advises clients on a wide range of corporate and commercial matters: forming and structuring companies, franchising and trade, employment, and the securities and capital markets, through to winding up and liquidation, where the firm's lawyers are frequently appointed as Official Liquidators by the Superior Courts of Pakistan.
The practice extends to banking and finance, acting for commercial banks and their customers on lending, security, restructuring and recovery, and to Islamic finance, where the firm works with Shari'ah scholars on structures that are both Islamically compliant and commercially viable.
Practices
- Entity Formation and Structuring: Incorporation, governance and restructuring, from first registration to winding up.
- Franchising and Trade: Franchise, distribution and agency networks, and the trade that runs through them.
- Employment and Labour Advice: Contracts, policies and disputes, for employers and senior employees.
- Securities and Capital Markets: Listings, offerings and the ongoing obligations of listed companies.
- Financial and Banking: Lending, security and regulatory work for lenders and borrowers.
- Islamic Finance: Shariah-compliant structures, products and documentation.
