Practice Areas
Civil and Criminal Litigation
Legal trouble never feels distant when it knocks on your door. Sometimes it starts with a simple disagreement—a deal gone wrong, a property dispute, or even a falling out with someone you once trusted. Other times, it’s more serious: an arrest, an accusation, or a court summons that changes the tone of your entire day.
Family Law & Child Custody
Family conflicts are not just legal disputes—they are quite emotional. When a marriage dissolves or custody matters arise, it transcends mere documents or court proceedings. It involves individuals striving to understand a painful situation, often while still navigating through it.
At JSS Law, we have collaborated & helped numerous families.
Banking & Finance Law
Many businesses in Pakistan deal with Islamic finance, which brings its own legal requirements and complications. A well established legal firm in Pakistan will be comfortable working across both conventional and Shariah-compliant models, turning legal complexity into practical steps.
Construction & Commercial Property
In a city growing as quickly as Karachi, construction and commercial real estate projects are everywhere.
Whether you’re putting up a new office building or leasing a warehouse, getting the legal side wrong can cost more than you think.
Corporate & Commercial Law
Corporate and commercial law covers a lot of ground. It’s about how businesses are formed, how they operate, how they grow—and what happens when something doesn’t go to plan. A well-regarded law firm in Karachi helps with everything from company incorporation to shareholder agreements etc
Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions can reshape a business—only if they’re done right. These transactions are rarely about a single deal; they’re about long-term consequences. Who controls what? What liabilities are inherited? What happens if the integration doesn’t as planned?
Cross-border Joint Ventures
At JSS Law we’ve worked with a number of clients over the years—some small, others operating on a regional scale—who have come to us with big ideas and overseas partners already lined up.
Cross-border joint ventures involve more than just common goals. They also require navigating differences—whether legal, cultural, or operational. This is where the challenges become apparent
Derivatives and the Fine Print
Over the years at our legal firm in Karachi, we’ve seen business owners, even CFOs, enter into derivative agreements without taking the time to understand the risks. Not because they weren’t careful—but because the paperwork looked standard, the terms were buried in financial jargon, and frankly, no one expected things to get messy.
But they often do.
Insurance, Reinsurance & Takaful
At JSS Law, we’ve handled a wide spectrum of insurance-related matters for clients across Pakistan. Some come to us after a denied claim. Others need help drafting reinsurance contracts or understanding the compliance side of Takaful operations.
Labour & Employment Law
Labour and employment law in Pakistan isn’t just about policies—it’s about people. Whether we’re advising an international corporation or a local enterprise in Karachi, we see the same truth: workplace relationships can make or break a business
Pharmaceutical & Drug Laws
Working in the pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan means walking a tightrope. One mistake in registration paperwork, one misinterpreted regulation, and your entire supply chain can get held up. As a legal firm in Karachi that works closely with pharma clients, JSS Law has dealt with the kind of challenges that don’t always make it into textbooks
Shipping & Admiralty Law
Shipping law isn’t abstract—it’s hands-on, time-sensitive, and often unfolds in real time.
In Pakistan, especially in ports like Karachi, the maritime industry moves fast. When problems arise—damaged cargo, a vessel held at port, or an insurance dispute — you need more than legal theory.
Power Projects
In Pakistan, developing a power project is never just about producing electricity. It’s about navigating land use complications, licensing bottlenecks, and often, negotiating with more than one government body at once. JSS Law has worked with sponsors, investors, and operators across the energy sector—so we’ve seen first-hand how much can go wrong when the legal framework isn’t handled with care.
Taxation in Pakistan
The tax framework in Pakistan is dense.
Dealing with taxes in Pakistan often feels less like working through a legal process and more like trying to hit a moving target.
The rules change frequently. Interpretations vary from one tax officer to the next. And for most businesses—especially those without large compliance teams—it can be overwhelming.
Trademarks & Intellectual Property
We’ve worked with everyone from independent designers to large industrial companies. Some need help enforcing their rights after finding a copycat. Certain people focus on safeguarding their brand before making it public. Not every circumstance requires a legal response. Most of the times, a well-crafted notice, supported by accurate documentation and evident ownership, suffices to settle the matter discreetly.
Technology, Media & Telecommunications
In media and telecom, we’ve seen how quickly things can get complicated. Copyright ownership, distribution rights, licensing fees—these aren’t always straightforward. A small oversight in a contract can develop into a months-long dispute.
For telecom, the legal side of infrastructure, compliance, and licensing can look dense.
