Regulatory compliance that keeps the licence and the calendar.
Regulatory Compliance
Compliance is a calendar discipline before it is a legal problem.
Most regulatory failures in Pakistan are missed deadlines and unkept registers — the quiet erosion of a company's clean standing. Our compliance practice converts that risk into a calendar, and turns a company's relationship with the SECP and regulators from anxiety into routine.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to the questions clients ask when engaging counsel in Islamabad.
What does the SECP require from a company each year?
Companies must file annual returns, maintain statutory registers and minutes, and keep governance records in order. The specific obligations depend on the company's size and structure, which a compliance calendar tracks.
What happens if filings are late?
Late fees accrue from the deadline, and continued non-filing can lead to default status, penalties, or striking-off proceedings. The remedy is regularisation — outstanding filings, late fees, and where needed, reinstatement — which we handle.
Can a defaulter company be restored?
Yes. Non-compliant and struck-off companies can be regularised through the SECP's remediation and restoration framework, typically involving outstanding filings, penalties, and the required applications.
