International law and institutions are necessary to foster welfare enhancing international trade
and investment activities. Jeffrey Waincymer

The globalized nature of today’s market requires a team of highly-skilled lawyers well-
equipped with the knowledge and inner workings of the laws and the market regimes. Our
domestic office in Pakistan and international office in Germany bring together a diverse and
qualified team of lawyers who can navigate our clients through the current turbulent and
unreliable market. Our expert trade and investment lawyers, former government negotiators
and trade policy specialists form a formidable team, available to assist our clients through all
trade and investment disputes, agreements and negotiations. Our domestic and global
knowledge of cross-border legislations and legal systems enable us to effectively tackle all
complex matters. Our team is always up to date on the geo-political relations between
countries, governmental decisions impacting import and export, closure of borders, cultural
differences, local markets and any other factors that may affect our clients. KLA has the
experience of advising international organizations, and large-scale corporations on complex
trade and investment matters, including multilateral and bilateral agreements, customs
restrictions, trade compliance and litigating trade remedy cases, which have enabled us to
foresee possible future glitches, navigate risks and to advise all companies, large and small,
on the legal and market complexities of doing cross-border investments and trade. An
additional benefit for our clients is the global nature of our firm, which allows our team to be
physically present across the border, and available to negotiate on behalf of our clients in any
of the major world languages, should the need arise.
