Client Specific

WHAT IS INNOVACION LEGAL SERVICES?

Innovacion Legal Services – ILS, is an online service provider entailing legal professionals offering a range of legal and corporate services to national and international clients. ILS intends to establish a virtual network of lawyers, based out of Pakistan, so to transform our legal sector into a modernized version of itself. Thereby, ensuring greater exposure and opportunities for lawyers as well as offering convenience and diversity to businesses.

WHAT IS OUR OPERATIVE PHILOSPHY?

The team behind ILS understands that being a good lawyer doesn’t mean stating the law in really complicated language. A good lawyer should help you achieve your business objectives by explaining what’s possible, put the right measures in place to mitigate risk and give you structure when you have the difficult job of making important decisions that can affect your business today or in the foreseeable future.

Our aim is to provide custom service by taking the time to truly understand your business and your vision so that in turn we better understand the challenges you’re currently facing and even highlight those that are hidden from you and you may face if not attended to. We do not work in a vacuum but work with you as team !

WHY CHOOSE ILS ?

ILS is largely an online advisory platform and therefore eliminates the exhausting process of arranging preliminary and subsequent meetings between clients and their respective lawyers.

We from experience know how many business deals get significantly affected as a result of this “to and from” at the lawyers office.

With ILS on your side, once your request has been processed within our system and you have engaged us for our services, your lawyer is readily made available to you for an online and/or on-call meeting, as per mutual preference. There remains no need to reach a suitable time days, or in some cases weeks in advance, to physically meet with your lawyers just to explain the transaction and then wait some more for them to revert to your request (that of course is not to say we don’t encourage physical meetings where necessary or requested by either side).

This means you could be travelling, in another country, in commute or just be in the relaxed setting of your home while taking this virtual meeting without a) hassling yourself for physical availability or b) facing delays caused by non-availability

Similarly, your lawyer could be anywhere so long he/she has access to the internet and is able to efficiently process your request.

Also, we make sure that the availability of your designated lawyer does not exceed a span of 24 hours to maintain the efficiency of our system.

In case where a meeting is not a prerequisite and you need run of the mill or simpler contracts and agreements, you get your requested documentation within 24 to 48 hours of generating your request. It’s that simple!

DO WE HAVE A PHYSICAL OFFICE IN PLACE?

Yes, we do have a physical office situated in Karachi, Pakistan. However, owing to the nature of our service and in quest to revolutionize the legal sector in Pakistan, it is strictly for operational and administrative purposes.

DO I HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO ILS TO AVAIL THE OFFERED SERVICES?
