Governmental authority, delegated power by Parliament (or in the case of a provincial authority, the provincial legislature), to act as authority for the executive action which can include rule making, adjudication, or the enforcement of a specific regulatory programme. Generally, administrative authorities are created to protect a public interest rather than to vindicate private rights. Governmental authorities must act within Constitutional parameters. These and other limits have been codified into statutes such as the Constitution of Pakistan and provincial analogs like wise Law of Writs.
ZA-LLP's administrative law team represents a variety of private and public sector clients in regulatory matters before federal, provincial, regional and district agencies. The attorneys at ZA-LLP Administrative Law Team have had meaningful involvement in shaping the landscape of environmental and land use law in Pakistan during their long and distinguished careers. In addition, members of the Administrative Law Team are recognized as leaders in the fields of taxation, commercial, governmental procurement, and white collar crime prevention.
Role of Administrative Law Team in Pakistan
The administrative law team frequently is called upon to educate our clients on a wide variety of regulatory requirements and the most effective methods of maintaining compliance. Our lawyers are frequently asked to visit clients facilities to assess and evaluate compliance and to assist clients in formulating and auditing compliance policies. Permitting and licensing, policy and procedure development, bid preparation, and land development regulations are but a few of the types of issues on which our Administrative Law Team members regularly offer counsel. The compliance skills of our team extend beyond administrative counseling, however, as our Team advises clients regarding the prevention of criminal conduct and criminal victimization.
In addition, the members of the Administrative Law Team have worked hard to develop strong contacts with other regulatory professionals in a variety of disciplines, both within the province and without, that can be called upon to provide optimal service to our clients.
And yes, the Administrative Law Team stands ready to assist should things go wrong. Our lawyers understand the importance of a prompt and thorough response to an enforcement action, environmental discharge, license or permit revocation, bid dispute or other adverse ruling by a governmental agency. The members of the Administrative Law Team are well-respected members of the regulatory community due in large part to their abilities to resolve complex regulatory matters through expert negotiation, mediation and, if necessary, litigation. The teams working knowledge of law enforcement and nationwide law enforcement contacts are significant assets in the development of successful compliance programs and defensive strategies to enforcement actions.
The Administrative Law Team also provides effective assistance in governmental relations matters and regularly assists clients in the promulgation, review and tracking of legislation, rules and policies affecting their businesses. Our lawyers have substantial experience in the drafting and passage of statutes and regulations and have a unique understanding of and appreciation for the legislative process. The Administrative Law Team works with a variety of lobbyists on the federal, provincial and district levels to help ensure our clients needs are addressed and their goals achieved.
The Administrative Law Team members have a well-earned reputation for providing our clients with creative and effective advice and counsel in administrative law matters.
Our Core Competencies
1
Collaborative Skillset
Collaborative lawyers trust the wisdom of the group; lone wolves and isolationists do not do any good anymore.
2
Emotional Intelligence
Distant, detached lawyers are relics of the 20th century, the market no longer wants a lawyer who is only half a person.
3
Technological Affinity
If you can not effectively and efficiently use e-communications, and mobile tech, you might as well just stay home.
4
Time Management
Virtually a substantial part of lawyers difficulties in this regard lie with their inability to prioritise their time.

Your help in investigation case is well appreciated. My brother and I are ever grateful to you for obtaining the document. Thank you and god bless you and your practice team.
Kevin Lessani - Dallas - USA
I greatly appreciate that your law firm is very careful in its preparation of petitions. In fact, the outcome of a legal fight greatly depends on how effectively a law firm has presented its case. If it fails to conceive in advance as to what it will have to face in defense, it can not prepare an effective petition. I admire that ZAFAR & ASSOCIATES - LLP are very careful in their initial step i.e. to prepare petition, around which the whole legal battle is fought.
