Rashid Sultan

Rashid Sultan is the founder and head of JuristiQ Chambers, a disputes boutique in Islamabad, specialising in international arbitration and high-value commercial disputes. He is qualified as an advocate of the High Courts of Pakistan and previously practised in Singapore as a registered foreign lawyer, with a focus on international arbitration in energy and energy-related construction and infrastructure disputes. This combination of South Asian and international experience allows him to support foreign firms and clients navigating complex, cross-border matters connected to Pakistan and the wider region.

His practice centres on international and domestic arbitration under leading institutional and ad hoc frameworks, including disputes arising from construction and infrastructure projects, energy and natural resources, commodity trading, shareholder arrangements, joint ventures, and long-term commercial contracts. He advises throughout the full lifecycle of an arbitration — from drafting and negotiating arbitration clauses, managing pre-dispute risk, and formulating strategy, to conducting hearings, pursuing interim relief, and enforcing arbitral awards and foreign judgments.

He is regularly engaged by international counsel as local disputes counsel, Pakistan law expert, and enforcement support for recognition and execution proceedings in Pakistani courts. His approach is practical, precise, and commercially aligned, with a strong emphasis on procedural efficiency and strategic clarity.

He welcomes engagement with international law firms, in-house counsel, arbitrators, and funders seeking a reliable arbitration partner in Pakistan. He is open to co-counsel arrangements, expert instructions on Pakistan law, and cross-border referrals.
