A principled practice built on decades of courtroom experience, scholarly rigour, and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law.
Asma Hamid & Associates (AHA) is a disputes-focused firm at 403 Alfalah Building, The Mall, Lahore — founded by Ms. Asma Hamid, Harvard Law School graduate and the first woman in Pakistan's history to serve as Advocate General. Our alliance with AHA gives clients of Bika & Co. seamless representation before the Lahore High Court, Supreme Court, and Federal Shariat Court, with nationwide reach extending to Karachi and Islamabad.
We advise and represent clients before the Federal Board of Revenue, Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue, and the High Courts across the full spectrum of direct and indirect tax matters — income tax assessments, sales tax, customs disputes, penalty proceedings, and constitutional challenges to revenue measures.
From mergers and acquisitions to commercial contracts, joint venture structuring, and corporate governance, we provide end-to-end transactional support. Our vetting and drafting practice ensures agreements are enforceable, unambiguous, and risk-mitigated before they are executed.
We advise on upstream and downstream petroleum matters, OGRA and NEPRA regulatory compliance, LNG supply agreements, power purchase agreements, and tariff disputes. Our experience spans private energy companies and government-owned utilities navigating Pakistan's evolving regulatory landscape.
We advise government entities, contractors, and development partners on public procurement law, PPRA and KP-PPRA compliance, contract disputes, and development authority matters. Our High Court litigation experience makes us a trusted partner for high-value infrastructure mandates.
We represent civil servants, public-sector employees, and institutions before service tribunals and the High Court in seniority disputes, wrongful termination challenges, promotion grievances, departmental inquiries, and pension matters spanning KP, federal, and provincial service structures.
We handle debt recovery, banking court proceedings, financial guarantee disputes, and State Bank regulatory matters. We advise financial institutions on loan documentation, security enforcement, and prudential regulatory compliance before Banking Courts across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
We advise pharmaceutical companies and importers on DRAP licensing, enforcement proceedings, import classification, and regulatory compliance. Our customs practice covers valuation disputes, mis-declaration proceedings, post-clearance audit challenges, and Customs Appellate Tribunal representation.
We handle land acquisition challenges, revenue record disputes, mutation proceedings, and property litigation from Patwari level through to the Board of Revenue and High Court. We also advise on KPRA tax matters including sales tax on services assessments and appellate proceedings.
Our practice is not confined to the areas listed above. We advise and represent across a broad range of legal disciplines as matters arise — bringing the same rigour and preparation to every instruction we accept, whatever its nature.
