Common questions

Can a contract with a Pakistani party be governed by foreign law?

Generally yes. Parties can choose a foreign governing law and a foreign or arbitral forum. What matters is enforceability: a foreign judgment is harder to enforce in Pakistan than an arbitral award, which is why arbitration is often the pragmatic choice.

Do contracts need to be stamped?

Stamp duty applies to many instruments under provincial stamp legislation and affects admissibility in evidence. We flag the stamp position and the rate before execution.
