SETTING STANDARDS. DELIVERING RESULTS
ABOUT US
Who We Are
Lai'Latif & Co Advocates is a globally oriented law firm led by Dr Lyla Latif, a socially driven lawyer, transformative educator, and influential researcher—shaping laws, international taxation frameworks, and strategic reforms in revenue mobilisation. With an unwavering commitment to justice and innovation, Dr Latif combines extensive expertise in litigation, corporate law, and international tax to deliver solutions that resonate on both local and global scales.
Our firm specialises in high-impact litigation across commercial, corporate, and taxation matters, offering precise, results-driven legal representation. Beyond litigation, we provide consultancy services and policy development, having worked with governments, the United Nations, and civil society organisations to craft legal frameworks and fiscal policies that drive equitable progress.
Lai'Latif & Co Advocates operates through an impressive, globally outsourced model, with team members spanning the African continent, Argentina, Bangladesh, and Cambodia. This diverse and inclusive approach allows us to stay attuned to global trends while offering locally informed solutions.
With expertise in commercial transactions, corporate restructuring, and advisory services in Islamic finance, green sukuk, and digital business models, we are uniquely positioned to address complex legal challenges and policy needs. At Lai'Latif & Co Advocates, we deliver the highest standards of legal practice, informed by a deep understanding of global and regional contexts.
Local Presence, Global Reach
We are positioned to create the blueprint for legal success and research services: we have grown internationally and in response to the increasing cross-border demands for legal, research and training services around public and private finance, digitalisation of the economy, SDGs and emerging digital business models by the biggest corporate and not-for-profit institutions in the world.
Social Responsibility
We take great pride in our commitment to serving the community, and we strive to make a positive impact through our legal services. As part of this commitment, we offer pro bono assistance to non-profit organizations, as well as providing legal advice to low-income individuals on matters such as transaction disputes, probate and tenant-landlord relationships. It is our belief that everyone deserves access to legal support, and we are honored to contribute to the betterment of our community in this way. In 2020, we founded زكاة تمكين المرأة (zakat tamkin almar'a - Islamic wealth tax for women empowerment) a funding project to support underprivileged women from no or low income households to start businesses and support their welfare.
We ensure that our office is an inclusive place for persons of varying backgrounds and abilities. The firm also provides services at reduced rates or pro bono to social outreach organizations. We believe these activities are an important contribution to our society, and feel that they support and enhance the professional development of our team.
