About

KILAM Law is a leading full-service law firm in Pakistan with expertise in matters related to corporate and commercial law, projects, and litigation and arbitration. The firm services clients out of its offices in Islamabad, Lahore and Multan.

KILAM was established as a result of the merger of a number of independent law firms in 2011. Our objective was to set up an international standard national law firm in Pakistan which understands the needs of the clients and can provide clear, concise and cost-effective advice without compromising quality. Since then, the firm has steadily expanded and has a busy practice servicing clients in Islamabad and Karachi in addition to Lahore.

Our lawyers have extensive experience and have worked on some of the most significant corporate, finance, litigation and arbitration matters in the country’s recent history.

Our extensive client base includes banks, insurance companies, international and domestic financial institutions, manufacturing and industrial entities, real estate and construction companies, family business offices, high-net-worth and prominent individuals including a former Prime Minister.

We routinely act for international law firms as Pakistan local counsel on complex disputes, sophisticated transactions and project mandates to provide practical local law advice on complex issues of Pakistani law.

As a responsible firm adopting international standards, we also understand the importance of working for marginalized communities in Pakistan. As part of our pro bono practice, our lawyers regularly advise differently-abled persons, individuals facing discrimination, social enterprises, and various charities.
