We are a full bench of advocates and counsel, not a single desk. Every matter is led by the right specialist and reviewed by senior counsel before it reaches a courtroom.
Two Black Coats began as a single chamber in Islamabad and has grown into a full-service firm serving clients across Pakistan. Our work spans court rooms and board rooms in equal measure.
We deliberately keep a focused caseload. Fewer matters means each one gets senior attention, a written plan, and a clear quote — from the honest first opinion to the final hearing.
Today the team covers civil and commercial disputes, corporate advisory, criminal defence, family, property, and tax, with a dedicated specialist leading each area.
Two Black Coats is built as a complete bench: Supreme Court lawyers, High Court advocates, trial and district court lawyers, corporate and tax counsel, and dedicated desks for family, property, and overseas clients. Whatever the forum — a rent tribunal in Islamabad or an appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan — the right lawyer for your matter already works here.
Supreme Court of Pakistan — appeals, CPLAs, constitutional matters
Senior advocates entitled to appear before the Supreme Court of Pakistan handle our appeals, petitions for leave to appeal, and constitutional questions. Apex-court arguments are shaped months before the final hearing, so our Supreme Court counsel join the strategy early, not at the last minute.
Islamabad High Court and other High Courts of Pakistan
Advocates of the High Court argue writ petitions, bail matters, civil and criminal appeals, service matters, and tax references — principally before the Islamabad High Court, with appearances in other High Courts through our associate counsel across Pakistan.
District courts, family courts, and tribunals — Islamabad and Rawalpindi
Most cases are won or lost on the trial record, long before any appeal. Our trial lawyers in Islamabad and Rawalpindi treat plaints, written statements, evidence, and cross-examination with the discipline that appellate courts later depend on.
Bail, criminal trials, and appeals
From pre-arrest bail in the critical first 72 hours to trial and appeal, our criminal defence lawyers move quickly and quietly. White-collar allegations and general criminal matters receive the same preparation and the same discretion.
SECP, Companies Act 2017, contracts and agreements
Counsel who incorporate companies, draft shareholder and founders' agreements, and keep startups and growing businesses compliant with the SECP — corporate law delivered in plain language a founder can act on, not boilerplate.
FBR, Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue, High Court tax references
Income tax, sales tax, audits, and recovery notices. Our tax bench pairs advocates who argue appeals before the Tribunal and the High Courts with consultants who handle filings and compliance — so an FBR notice gets both a legal answer and a practical one.
Trademarks, software agreements, data, cross-border contracts
Advisors for the digital economy: trademark and intellectual property protection, software and services agreements, data and privacy questions, and contracts that cross borders — for Pakistani startups and for international clients working with Pakistan.
Khula, divorce, custody, maintenance, guardianship, succession
Family matters demand firmness in court and gentleness with the client. Our family lawyers in Islamabad handle khula, custody, maintenance, and succession under strict confidentiality, with honest advice about what a court will and will not order.
Title verification, CDA and RDA matters, transfers, tenancy
Before you pay for property, we read the file. Title verification, registry and transfer work, CDA and RDA matters, and landlord-tenant disputes — including protecting land held by families and by Pakistanis living abroad.
Powers of attorney, inheritance, property protection from abroad
For clients in the UK, the Gulf, North America, and beyond: powers of attorney, succession certificates, property protection, and court representation in Pakistan — managed end to end over phone, WhatsApp, and email, in your time zone.
Case law, precedent, and written opinions
Every significant argument we make is backed by reported judgments and statutory history, distilled into a written opinion the client can actually read. Research is a dedicated role inside the firm, not an afterthought.
Hearing dates, court files, and client updates
You should never have to chase your own lawyer. Case managers track hearing dates, keep court files in order, and send an update after every hearing — so you always know exactly where your case stands.
Publicity rules for advocates in Pakistan are deliberately conservative, and much of our best work is confidential by its nature. So instead of a wall of portraits, we describe the bench itself — the courts we appear in and the work each desk does.
You will never deal with an anonymous firm, though. At your first consultation we tell you exactly which advocate will lead your matter, their court enrolment, and which senior counsel reviews their work — in writing, before you pay a rupee.
Behind every notice we send and every argument we make is unglamorous preparation — reading, research, and honest advice — carried out in chambers built for exactly that.
Our professionals work together across practice areas to deliver practical legal solutions, strategic advice, and effective representation tailored to each client's objectives.
Complex legal matters often require insights from multiple disciplines. Our team combines legal, regulatory, compliance, and advisory experience to provide well-rounded solutions.
We support clients navigating legal matters that extend beyond a single jurisdiction, helping individuals and businesses address domestic and international legal challenges.
Lawyers, consultants, researchers, and support professionals work together to ensure matters are handled efficiently and comprehensively.
Every matter is approached with a commitment to practical outcomes, transparent communication, and solutions aligned with our clients' goals.
