ABS & Co recently advised and represented an international client, based in Hong Kong, in a complex cross-border commercial dispute arising in Pakistan. The matter involved contested payment obligations where traditional litigation avenues risked being both protracted and commercially disruptive. The client entrusted ABS & Co with safeguarding its financial interests while ensuring a timely and commercially efficient resolution.
Our team designed a bespoke negotiation strategy, combining in-depth knowledge of Pakistani dispute resolution mechanisms with an appreciation for cross-border enforcement challenges. Through direct engagement with the opposing party, ABS & Co successfully navigated jurisdictional and procedural hurdles, securing an amicable settlement that enabled the recovery of over USD 25,000. The dispute was resolved swiftly, without the cost, delay, and uncertainty of protracted litigation or arbitration, thereby protecting the client’s ability to pursue ongoing business interests with minimal disruption.
This outcome underscores ABS & Co’s ability to deliver practical, high-value solutions in international matters involving multi-jurisdictional complexities. It further reinforces the firm’s reputation as a trusted partner for global clients doing business in Pakistan, especially in disputes where commercial pragmatism and legal precision are essential.
The assignment was led by Sarjeel Mowahid, with support from Kanzal Abbas, Khawaja Abdullah, and Ahmed Islam. Their combined expertise and commitment ensured that the client’s interests were effectively secured, reaffirming ABS & Co’s standing as a leading firm for cross-border dispute resolution and international commercial negotiations.
