From legal advice to representation in dispute resolution proceedings, FGE Ebrahim Hosain’s services have been invaluable to us‘.

The firm’s extensive experience and vast knowledge in corporate and legal matters ensures delivery of services of the highest quality, be it in terms of representation in local litigation and international arbitrations‘.

‘The partners, Ahmad Hosain and Zaki Rahman, are extraordinary intellectuals who are fully engaged and hands-on about all the assignments they undertake for us and the entire team is brilliant to work with in terms of their hard work, professionalism and responsiveness. We can always rely on their support‘.

‘ I can’t think of any other firm in the country which has a wider experience in international arbitration than CLM. They have a great pool of talent. Salman Aslam Butt – a former Attorney General – knows the market better than anyone else. Waleed Khalid is exceptionally hardworking and commercial‘.

‘We were thoroughly impressed by the success rate of CLM and its ability to understand our position and reflect it in the case documents submitted to court and in their oral arguments. CLM kept us updated and well informed about the developments in our cases and was available to discuss case strategy and other matters as and when we requested despite their busy routine.  We found them to be very proficient in understanding the disputes and had the ability to grasp the commercial issues arising out of a dispute‘.

‘I have had the opportunity to work with partners and associates in CLM that stand out from the competitors due to their sheer commitment, knowledge, and experience. Munawar-us-Salam has extensive understanding of dispute resolution processes. He has represented us in various matters before the High Courts and Supreme Court of Pakistan. His most prominent ability when it comes to dispute resolution is to strategise the case in a way that protects the interests of his clients and give best representation. He is extremely eloquent and well spoken in his arguments before the court. He is an excellent advocate, team leader and never fails to impress‘.

‘Waleed Khalid is a distinguished lawyer with an exceptional ability in arbitration and out of court dispute resolution process. He understands the complications, risks and procedure of international arbitration. He has represented various entities in the power sector before various forums such as LCIA, ICC etc‘.

‘The individuals I have worked with stand out because they’re hardworking, they go deep into the subject and understand the technical aspects of the case and then perform the analysis of the right and wrong aspects and then stand with the right side and devote themselves to prove the truth with sufficient and logical evidence and arguments‘.

‘It is an impressive team, both junior and senior lawyers. They have a great deal of experience and display great strategic insight and judgment. Salman Butt has an impressive legal mind‘.

‘The team is professional and works in a professional manner. The team has the capability to handle our case very well. Munwar us Islam is a hard worker, has a very good knowledge of legal matters, dedicated to the assigned task and responsive‘.

They were always available for any help and discussion on the matter and their efforts during the case were simply superb. At the same time team was very friendly and cooperative.‘

‘Stellar practice both in terms of legal excellence and commercial nous. Highly recommended’.

‘Rana Sajjad stands out as a highly engaged, determined, and skilled lawyer. His advice is clear, on point and always timely. His dedication to developing Pakistan’s arbitration practice is second to none’.

‘AHM & Co team led by Adam Malik has a very good understanding of the various provisions with regard to arbitration and dispute resolution. His approach to the resolution of disputes is practical while keeping within the framework of law. He deliberates at length with clients to find a practical solution. We have found his advice both practical and in our best interests‘.

‘AHM & Co. has been a trusted legal representative for the company and for many matters I have required assistance in, primarily due to the swiftness of response whilst still maintaining the requisite level of research, understanding and effort. The turnaround time in receiving detailed legal opinions or advice is much shorter than the other firms/lawyers we have engaged and their ability to take on a variety of issues and willingness to resolve them/provide solutions even prior to finalising the legal fees is a huge asset for us. We have found that the young team has had little issue translating their work during the digitalised era forced upon us by COVID-19, resulting in increased efficiency in documentation sharing and communications’.

‘Most of our work is channelled through Adam Hassan Malik who is a standout attorney who has the ability to adapt when dealing with a variety of individuals. I can personally vouch for some stellar dispute resolutions handled by him with a wide spectrum of personnel, including officials from regulatory authorities, corporate entities and even individuals trying to extort money under the threat of litigation and criminal action‘.

‘In-depth understanding of relevant legal issues, good analytical skills, excellent court strategy and solution oriented approach make AHM & Co a unique firm to work with‘.

‘Adam Malik is the lead partner that I have dealt with and he is clearly highly experienced in dispute resolution, with deep knowledge of the Pakistani courts. Adam’s skillsets include giving meticulous attention to detail and encyclopaedic recall of recent precedents‘.

‘Vigilant and agile in dealing in litigations, timely response and highly capable‘.

‘A great team, the team has considerable depth of experience in regulatory work. Practical and well-resourced. Adam Malik provided insightful, responsive thoughtful advice. The standard of work provided is always of the highest quality. Adam has the ability to solve problems directly and quickly for clients’.

‘Some of the practice’s key strengths are the teamwork and the focus on client relations. What stands out the most is the fact that they take the client’s requirements seriously, and keep them in the loop throughout the whole process through a series of meetings and constant feedback after each meeting before the final advice. Moreover, this firm has maintained a diversified workforce with a good gender balance and a good mix of junior and senior associates for a holistic perspective‘.

‘I have frequently interacted with Iftikharuddin and Abdul Muqtadir and the finance team. I have found them equipped with excellent legal knowledge and experience. I strongly admire their ability to acquire information from the client by asking relevant questions, keeping in mind the sensitivity of the case‘.

They have a very good grip on international case laws as well. They always make our company feel like a priority client and respond us within shorter possible times. Currently we are dealing Iftikharuddin Riaz‘.

‘I have recently worked with BNR on an international arbitration at LCIA, and I am extremely impressed by the quality and quantity of work that the team has produced. The associates were excellent at researching, and the partners on the case were well-versed with the dispute and what our case was. They have a great team of partners with diverse international experience in both litigation and arbitration. I was also particularly pleased by their use of technology, especially during the pandemic. They have invested in software and collaboration technology (Zoom, Teams, SharePoint) to ensure there is no disruption of services to their clients‘.

‘I worked with two partners, Feisal Naqvi, and Sami ud Din on the international arbitration, and both were equally good if not better than our opposing barrister on the case. The associates had a very diligent focus on researching both internal and external records for the case. Overall, I am extremely happy with how this team dealt with the arbitration and helped us create a good case‘.

‘The firm gives sound advice and at times different from what the client wants to hear. Salman Akram Raja and Asad Ladha’.

‘Salman Akram Raja is one of the most able and professional lawyers in the country. His expertise on all areas of law is commendable and he gives his clients comfort and support in dealing with legal matters. He is very approachable and the turnaround time is always quick which makes it easier to manage deadlines.’

‘It has the ability to succinctly address the legal issues arising from the complicated facts of a case and present it before a court with a solution, which the firm has a command over. The provision of services professionally and showing results with affordable billing has made the firm most approachable in all areas especially the corporate sector. Rizwan Faiz has a detailed and accurate knowledge of the brief in hand, applicable up to date law makes him stand out from his competitors, consequently protecting and securing his clients’ interests in the best possible way‘.

‘Rizwan has a deep knowledge of arbitration and great advocacy skills. He is very responsive.  We mostly work with Rizwan Faiz Muhammad directly.

Rizwan Faiz Muhammad has a deep sector knowledge in construction related disputes and arbitration (FIDIC agreements etc.)‘.

‘Rizwan Faiz is an exceptional lawyer, with excellent preparation and presentation in courts. He presents his cases in a methodical way, and enjoys an excellent rapport with judges. Rizwan Faiz has an excellent court presence. The key I believe to his success is his excellent and methodical case presentation, and impressive presentation. It also helps that he usually has an excellent command over the various sectors that he represents in court and is therefore highly trusted for his sectoral knowledge of sectors such as power, construction, etc. His team, consisting of Afzal Shinwari and Haroun Bilal Sharif play an very good supporting act, and are very capable of acting of their own’.
