Jawed leads the firm's industrial compliance practice from Karachi. He has advised plot owners, manufacturers, and industrial groups within the Sindh Industrial Trading Estate on regulatory and property matters for over a decade, and the practice remains his sole area of focus.
His work covers the full lifecycle of an industrial unit operating within SITE — plot allotment, lease, mutation and transfer, building plan approvals, change of use, and the ongoing regulatory load carried by an industrial unit operating in Sindh.
Jawed is not enrolled as an advocate and does not appear in court; clients requiring contentious representation are directed to the firm's litigation practice or to external counsel.
