Company Law

Corporate Legal Solutions for Businesses of All Sizes

Company law in Pakistan is primarily governed by the Companies Act 2017, which sets out the legal framework for the incorporation, regulation, and dissolution of companies. Whether you are a startup founder incorporating your first private limited company, an established business undergoing restructuring, or a foreign investor entering the Pakistani market, navigating company law requires expert legal guidance.

At Ayesha Khalid Law Associates, we offer comprehensive corporate legal services covering company incorporation, drafting of memorandum and articles of association, share issuance and transfer arrangements, board and shareholder resolutions, annual compliance filings with SECP, and corporate restructuring including mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. We ensure that every corporate action is fully compliant with the Companies Act 2017 and applicable SECP regulations.

Our team also handles corporate dispute resolution — including oppression and mismanagement petitions before the SECP and High Courts, shareholder disputes, director removal proceedings, and corporate litigation. We advise boards of directors on corporate governance best practices and fiduciary duties, helping businesses operate with legal certainty and confidence.
