With a high calibre team of lawyers in the region, our team is led by Michael Parker, formerly a Senior Partner of Clyde & Co and now leading Spencer West’s Asia Pacific and UAE-based Middle East team.

The team in Pakistan is spearheaded by Ishtiaq Chechi, who is qualified to practise in the UK, DIFC and Pakistan. Spencer West has a strong and growing presence across Pakistan.

Via offices in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi, operated alongside highly regarded local law firms with whom we have close affiliations, our clients have access to legal experts across a range of practice areas, including corporate, commercial, dispute resolution, taxation and private client. Our legal experts focus on a diverse range of sectors, including TMT, life sciences and healthcare and transportation. We advise clients across the full spectrum of business law matters in relation to their activities in the region.

Our client-driven approach has also enabled us to develop close ties with highly regarded law firms and advisors across Pakistan. Our clients benefit from these working relationships, and our multi-jurisdictional capability and connections transcend the Indian Sub-Continent where, in addition to Pakistan, our clients are involved across Central and South-East Asia. We are well placed to advise on opportunities and challenges in what are some of the fastest growing economies in the world.
