Selected matters from the practice of Muhammad Hamza Sohail Khan, Founding & Managing Partner, across litigation, corporate and commercial work, tax and customs, property, regulatory mandates and cross-border advice. Status and outcome are identified where relevant.
Advised a borrower on a £1.35m facility from a major UK bank, working through the debenture, the fixed and floating charges over the business, and the personal guarantee that sat behind it. The facility is what you access today; the security is what you keep control of tomorrow.
Review the matter →A supplier was left holding three dishonoured post-dated cheques after delivering under a documented agreement. Proceedings were instituted under Order XXXVII CPC, relying on the instruments, acknowledged ledger and statutory presumptions while preserving the defendant's right to seek leave to defend.
Review the matter →Seven material concessions were secured for a 100,000 sq ft Nevada industrial lease. When the landlord's formal lease reversed them, the negotiation returned to termination, renewal, operating costs, permitted use, escalation, fixtures and holdover protections.
Review the matter →Acting for the chief executive of a listed state-owned enterprise, we treated the removal as what it legally was, not what it was labelled. The office of CEO is a creature of statute, and a board cannot vote away rights the Companies Act and the SOE Act 2023 confer.
Review the matter →A vendor retained a prepaid balance above $170,000 under a forfeiture clause triggered by a disputed invoice. The response tested pro-rated billing, delivery of the invoice and the contractual meaning of "reduced by" rather than assuming the claimed forfeiture was effective.
Review the matter →A signed legal charge that no one registered at HM Land Registry turned a protected lending position into an unsecured claim the day the property sold. We put the former solicitors' insurers on notice under the professional-negligence protocol.
Review the matter →Written submissions for the Collectorate of Customs on a Division Bench question: how far Section 187-A, newly inserted by the Finance Act 2025, reaches when a vehicle's chassis number has been tampered with. A question of whether a procedural presumption runs prospectively.
Review the matter →A multi-state compliance review that surfaced live exposure across ROSCA subscriptions, FTC reference-pricing, telemarketing registration and IoT anti-stalking disclosure, the kind of quiet violations that sit on a product page until someone complains.
Review the matter →In W.P. 3280/2025 the Court restrained action against residents of Saidpur Model Village and required the authority to follow the demolition procedure the CDA Ordinance actually prescribes. Possession letters followed.
Review the matter →A contractor completed a public project and held a Completion Certificate but remained unpaid. W.P. 2625/2025 placed the procurement rules' payment timeline and the authority's later non-speaking order before the High Court, which issued notice for a detailed reply.
Review the matter →In W.P. 3001/2024 we resisted a fresh Article 199 challenge to a Board of Revenue order, on limitation, concurrent findings, and the boundary between supervisory review and a re-hearing of the facts.
Review the matter →A four-scenario CBP ruling request analysed Mexican assembly under 19 CFR Part 102 and General Note 11(o). CBP granted preferential duty treatment under the USMCA for the qualifying goods, while the applicable additional duties connected with Chinese origin remained.
Review the matter →Constitutional anchors
