At AUJ LAWYERS LLP, we specialize in providing comprehensive legal support to international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and weapons-producing companies seeking to enter and expand within Pakistan's defence sector. Our expertise ensures seamless navigation of the complex regulatory and procurement landscape, enabling our clients to pitch their products effectively to defense forces and industries in Pakistan. Our services include:

Registration and Compliance: We guide OEMs through the mandatory registration processes with relevant Pakistani defence procurement authorities, ensuring full compliance with local laws and regulations. Our legal team meticulously prepares and submits registration applications, resolves compliance issues, and ensures adherence to all regulatory standards and protocols.

Shortlisting of Products: Our team provides expert assistance in the shortlisting of weapons and equipment with defence procurement departments. We craft detailed product dossiers tailored to meet agency requirements, coordinate with procurement bodies for evaluations, and manage technical and legal queries throughout the evaluation process to ensure successful shortlisting.

Legal Agency Services: We offer comprehensive legal agency and representation services for OEMs. Acting as their legal representatives in Pakistan, we advocate effectively during procurement processes, negotiate contracts and agreements with defence stakeholders, and address any disputes or issues arising during procurement cycles.

Strategic Advisory: We provide strategic legal advice to international OEMs looking to establish or expand their presence in Pakistan’s defence industry. Our services include analyzing market dynamics, advising on joint ventures and partnerships with local entities, and structuring and executing defence-related transactions to ensure a strong market position.

Compliance and Audits: To ensure OEMs remain compliant with evolving defence industry standards and procurement policies, we conduct regular compliance audits, advise on regulatory changes, and provide timely updates on legal and procedural developments. This proactive approach minimizes risks and ensures smooth operations.
