Intellectual Property

Strategic Advocacy in Technology, Pharmaceutical, and Brand-Driven Disputes

JuristiQ Chambers advises and represents clients in high-stakes intellectual property disputes across Pakistan, with particular strength in technology, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and brand-centric industries. Our practice is firmly dispute-led, combining IP law expertise with commercial litigation, regulatory, and constitutional law capability.
