About
I am a lawyer and lead the legal function at EFU Life Assurance Limited. My work sits where regulation, contracts and people matters meet: reading what the regulator requires, turning it into clear company policy, and documenting decisions so they stand up to scrutiny.
I brief the CEO and senior management on legal and regulatory developments, draft and review formal legal documents, and manage the day-to-day administration of the legal department.

- Regulatory compliance
- Interpreting Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) requirements, preparing regulatory responses and aligning company policy with new rules.
- AML/CFT
- The legal side of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism obligations for a regulated insurer.
- Employment law
- Employment matters, contracts and workplace policies, handled with attention to both the law and the working relationship.
- Legal drafting
- Agreements, policies, legal opinions and formal correspondence written to be precise and readable.
- Takaful and Islamic finance
- Legal planning for Window Takaful Operations and the direction of Islamic finance regulation in Pakistan.
