Strategic Market Entry
Establishing a Liaison Office in Pakistan allows foreign corporations to conduct market research, promote products, and facilitate business operations without engaging in direct commercial trade. Our expert team at Javid Law Associates provides comprehensive corporate matters consultation to navigate the complex regulatory landscape, ensuring your entry is structured for long-term compliance with the Board of Investment (BOI) and other statutory bodies.
Regulatory Framework and Approvals
Registration of a liaison office requires meticulous documentation and inter-departmental coordination. Unlike standard company registration in Pakistan, this process involves strict oversight to ensure alignment with international investment policies.
| Phase | Focus Area |
|---|---|
| Application Submission | BOI portal filings and attestation |
| Security Clearance | Coordination with Interior Ministry |
| Post-Registration | SEC/FBR compliance and NTN registration |
