Hindi-speaking lawyers in Pakistan

Spoken Hindi and Urdu are close enough that many clients understand both. People from the Indian diaspora, overseas families with roots in Pakistan and business contacts across South Asia sometimes search for Hindi-speaking lawyers in Pakistan for that reason.

Common matters are inherited land and property, title verification and power of attorney for overseas owners, family cases such as khula, divorce and guardianship, tenancy disputes and commercial contracts. Pakistani advocates are enrolled with a provincial bar council and the Pakistan Bar Council, and the bar council can confirm enrolment. Court work takes place in Urdu and English, and written Hindi in Devanagari script is not used in filings, so documents need translation.
