The Firm - HP | FKM - Hafeez Pirzada | Farooq, Khan & Mirza
A Legacy of Leadership. A Tradition of Excellence. Shaping the Future With Innovation
At the intersection of time-honoured tradition and modern legal solutions, our firm emerges from the prestigious merger of Hafeez Pirzada Law Associates (HPLA) and Farooq, Khan & Mirza (FKM), two names synonymous with excellence and distinction in Pakistan’s legal field. With deep roots in the country’s legal history, we unite decades of experience in legal practice, blending an unparalleled legacy with cutting-edge expertise. Together, we form a powerhouse firm dedicated to delivering exceptional service, driven by our rich history and focused on the future of law.
Our Heritage: A Rich Legacy of Excellence
HPLA was founded by the late Abdul Hafeez Pirzada, BSc. LLD, Barrister and Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, in 1959. A towering figure in Pakistan’s legal and political history, Pirzada played a critical role in the drafting of Pakistan’s 1973 Constitution and in shaping the country’s legal framework. He was a staunch advocate for the rule of law and democratic principles, serving not only as a legal expert but also as a pivotal political figure. His contributions to Pakistan’s constitutional law are unparalleled, and his legacy continues to inspire the legal profession. Under his leadership, HPLA gained national recognition for its role in high-profile constitutional and administrative cases, as well as its representation in matters of public interest and human rights.
The firm’s commitment to justice and integrity is exemplified by its representation of a range of prestigious clients, from individuals to large public institutions. The firm’s expertise extends across diverse areas, including constitutional law, litigation, public service law, and corporate law.
HPLA continues to honour Abdul Hafeez Pirzada’s pioneering legacy under the stewardship of Barrister Abdul Sattar Pirzada, who has built upon the firm’s rich heritage, furthering its reputation for providing top-tier legal services, particularly in complex constitutional cases and contentious litigation. The firm’s reputation for sound legal judgment, backed by years of dedicated service, makes it one of the most respected names in Pakistan’s legal landscape.
FKM, founded in 2009, brought together a fresh, innovative approach to legal services. Established by Barristers Omer Farooq and Babbar A. Khan, FKM quickly distinguished itself as a trailblazer in corporate law, commercial law, arbitration, and construction law. Both Farooq and Khan, known for their meticulous attention to detail and strategic acumen, built a reputation for providing pragmatic, solution-oriented advice to clients navigating the complexities of modern business and governance.
FKM became a trusted advisor to multinational corporations, governments, financial institutions and development entities, offering expert counsel on high-stakes project finance, PPP and infrastructure development. Their expertise in international arbitration and commercial dispute resolution has earned them widespread acclaim. FKM’s focus on client-centric legal solutions, combining deep legal knowledge with strategic business insights, has earned the firm a reputation for being agile and forward-thinking.
Where Legacy Meets Innovation
The merger of HPLA and FKM represents a convergence of two distinguished legacies: one rooted in the foundational legal history of Pakistan and the other built upon the modern-day demands of global commerce. HPLA’s enduring strength in constitutional law, litigation, and public service is complemented by FKM’s innovative approach to corporate law, construction law and arbitration. This unique combination of legal disciplines empowers us to provide a full spectrum of legal solutions, from landmark constitutional cases to complex commercial transactions.
The integration of these two firms allows us to offer unmatched legal expertise across a range of industries, including technology, finance, construction, infrastructure, and energy. Whether representing clients in high-profile constitutional cases or navigating cutting-edge corporate transactions, our team stands ready to address the diverse and evolving challenges faced by today’s businesses and institutions.
