NAB, Anti-Corruption & Money Laundering Defence in Karachi
Protecting individuals and businesses in NAB, FIA and NCCIA investigations.
Defending Against State Agency Investigations
Being investigated by NAB, FIA or ACE is one of the most stressful experiences any individual or business can face. The powers available to these agencies are broad and the consequences of conviction are severe. Early, expert legal intervention frequently changes outcomes dramatically.
NAB Defence
The National Accountability Bureau has wide powers of arrest, asset freezing and prosecution. We advise at every stage — from the initial notice through voluntary return negotiations, bail applications and full trial defence. We are familiar with NAB's procedures and know how to protect your rights effectively within the system.
FIA Investigation Defence
FIA investigates cybercrime, immigration fraud, human trafficking, foreign exchange offences and banking fraud through its specialist wings. We handle FIA notice responses, attend interviews with you, apply for bail in FIA Special Courts and defend fully at trial.
Money Laundering — AMLA 2010
Anti-Money Laundering Act cases require specialist financial forensics alongside criminal defence. We work with forensic accountants to document legitimate sources of funds and challenge asset freezing orders.
Cheque Dishonour — Section 489-F PPC
Section 489-F carries a sentence of up to 3 years. We negotiate settlements, apply for bail and conduct full trial defence. Compromise with the complainant ends the proceedings entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this practice area
Never ignore a NAB notice — non-compliance can trigger arrest. Equally, you must not respond without specialist legal advice since anything you say can be used against you. We review the notice, assess your exposure and prepare a carefully crafted response. Early engagement with NAB through experienced lawyers frequently resolves matters before formal proceedings begin.
A voluntary return is an arrangement under which the accused returns alleged corrupt proceeds to NAB in exchange for closure of proceedings. It requires careful negotiation and legal advice to ensure the amount is fair and that return genuinely closes all claims. We negotiate voluntary returns regularly.
Yes — investigative agencies can obtain freezing orders at the investigation stage. We challenge these orders by demonstrating legitimate sources of funds, lack of prima facie evidence and disproportionality of the freeze. Courts do set aside excessive freezing orders where grounds are strong.
