A Litigation Advocate You Deal With Directly
Abdul Shakoor built GNS Law Associates on a straightforward idea: a client should deal directly with the advocate handling their case, get an honest assessment of where they stand, and be kept informed at every stage. From the firm's chamber in Clifton, he appears before the High Court and the subordinate and family courts of Karachi across a focused set of practice areas.
His work centres on the matters that most affect Karachi families and property owners — protecting and recovering property, resolving inheritance and succession, and handling sensitive family and criminal litigation. A significant part of his practice serves overseas Pakistanis, whom he represents in Pakistan through Power of Attorney so they can resolve matters at home without travelling back.
The approach is deliberately litigation-focused and long-term: many clients who come with a single matter return as further issues arise, because they know they will get the same direct, candid representation each time.
