Banking Law

Banking Law Lawyers in Pakistan

There was a boom in Pakistan’s Banking and financial sector  few years back, which has now taken a U-TURN, and the Banks which were once determined to increase deposits at any cost are now reluctant to increase there capital costs , therefore Banking industry has been struck with depression. Coupled with high inflation and ever increasing cost of living in Pakistan, many consumers who were once seen as risk free by banks are being denied lendings. This adverse scenario has resulted in litigation at a high rate in the Banking sector of Pakistan. Banks in Pakistan are now operating more stringent policies to improve the recovery of Debts, while some aggressive banks have started to use measures that are sometimes so offensive that basic consumer rights have been  violated many a times. This is where we come in, our main objective being to resolve the issue in the most amicable fashion, however, Legal suit may be used as a last resort.

Most offences under Banking and Finance are administrated under Financial Recovery Ordinance, 2001 in Special Courts named as Banking Courts in Pakistan. These Banking courts are 29 in number all over Pakistan. Offences may also be tried under civil courts and through other courts if circumstances permit.

One of biggest drawback of engaging an unreliable Banking lawyer/ Attorney in pakistan is that many lawyers have brought discredit to the profession by selling their cases, especially their banking cases to opposite parties.
