A matter is often won or lost before the first hearing — in how a plaint is drafted, whether interim relief is sought early, or whether a limitation period has been checked. We treat that early stage with the same seriousness as trial advocacy itself.
Our team pairs senior advocates with the associates who prepare the record, so clients get both strategic judgment and the procedural discipline that holds a case together over years of litigation.

Common questions before you instruct a lawyer in Karachi
People searching for the best lawyer in Karachi are usually asking a narrower question first: which court will hear my matter, and is this advocate enrolled to appear there? These answers deal with that before anything else.
How do I choose the right lawyer in Karachi for my case?
Start with the forum, not the name. Family matters such as khula, maintenance and custody go to the Family Courts at the City Courts or Malir Courts; appeals and constitutional petitions go to the High Court of Sindh, whose principal seat is in Karachi; and Supreme Court appeals from Sindh are generally heard at the Supreme Court's Karachi Branch Registry, except taxation, customs and revenue matters. Then choose an advocate enrolled to appear before that court. Our guide on how to choose a lawyer in Karachi covers the questions to ask at the first meeting.
How can I check that a Karachi advocate is properly enrolled?
The Sindh Bar Council publishes an online verification database of enrolled advocates showing each advocate's registration number, whether the enrolment is for the High Court or the lower courts, and whether it is valid, suspended or removed. An advocate needs separate Supreme Court enrolment to appear before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Which courts does Irfan Mir Halepota & Associates appear before?
The Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Federal Constitutional Court, the High Court of Sindh, the Federal and Sindh Service Tribunals, the Sindh Environmental Tribunal, the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue, the Customs Appellate Tribunal and Special Courts (Customs), Banking Courts, District, Civil and Family Courts, and the Rent Controllers in Karachi. Irfan Mir Halepota, who leads the firm, is an Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
What kinds of cases does the firm handle?
Property disputes and property law, including stay orders; criminal defence and bail; divorce, khula and talaq, court marriage and other family matters handled by Advocate Nusrat Irfan; income tax, sales tax and customs disputes; trademarks and intellectual property; Supreme Court appeals and constitutional petitions; human rights matters; and inheritance, corporate, banking and service work. The areas of practice page lists each one.
Where is the firm's office in Karachi?
Office E-26, Executive Floor, Glass Tower, Khayaban-e-Iqbal (Clifton Road), Teen Talwar, Clifton, Karachi. The office is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and can be reached on +92 321 2057582 or info@irfanlaw.com.
Can I instruct a Karachi lawyer if I live abroad or outside Karachi?
Yes. Overseas Pakistanis can generally conduct litigation through a power of attorney executed and attested at the Pakistani mission in their country, and most stages do not require personal attendance, though a court may direct it at particular points. The firm also takes matters from elsewhere in Pakistan to the High Court of Sindh and the Supreme Court.
