Banking & Finance
Ashtar Ali & Rahim LLP advises leading financial institutions, development finance entities, corporate borrowers, and investors on complex banking and finance matters in Pakistan. Our work spans project finance, syndicated lending, structured finance, securities offerings, and financial regulatory compliance. We assist clients across the transaction lifecycle, including due diligence, documentation, security structuring, perfection and enforcement of security interests, and regulatory approvals. Our lawyers routinely advise on transactions in the energy, infrastructure, telecommunications, and industrial sectors, including financing arrangements for large-scale projects and public-sector initiatives.
In contentious matters, the firm represents clients in high-stakes banking disputes, restructuring and insolvency proceedings, and recovery litigation before specialised banking courts and High Courts. We act for banks, non-bank financial institutions, fintech companies, and capital-markets participants on enforcement actions, fraud and financial-crime related matters, and regulatory investigations. With a deep understanding of Pakistan’s financial regulatory environment and commercial landscape, our team delivers practical, strategic, and business-focused solutions to protect client interests and support complex financial operations.
