The Litigation, Tax, Internal Audit, Financial Advisory & Compliance Division operates under the SYK Legal name, as an independent line of consulting work founded, owned and directed by Shaher Yar Khan. While the firm's litigation partners continue to serve clients across civil, criminal, arbitration and family matters, this division was built separately, on the strength of over a decade of hands-on tax litigation, internal audit and financial consulting practice.

We were formed on a simple observation: most Pakistani businesses encounter tax and financial risk only after it has already become a dispute. By the time a company reaches a litigator, the cost of a control failure has usually multiplied many times over. This practice exists to work earlier in that cycle - inside the business, before the notice arrives.

Our approach borrows from three disciplines that rarely sit in one room: the evidentiary rigour of legal practice, the structured scepticism of internal audit, and the practical fluency of a chartered- accountancy tax desk. Engagements are led by professionals who have sat inside FBR litigation, inside ERP-based retail operations, and inside statutory tax filing - not only advised from the outside.

We work with owner-managed businesses, multi-location retail and distribution operations, manufacturers, and - through our sister legal practice - embassies and diplomatic missions requiring documentation verification and compliance support.

Where a matter escalates beyond the tax and audit remit, clients are supported — through SYK Legal' litigation practice — with representation and advisory assistance in proceedings before the High Court and the Supreme Court, so that the same team's understanding of the underlying facts carries through into the courtroom.
