About Us
Bharucha & Co. was founded seven decades ago and
it is amongst the leading Intellectual Property law
firms in Pakistan. The firm is a one stop solution
for all Intellectual Property and related matters
and is one of the oldest firms of Pakistan in this
profession. It has a long history going back to
1948, founded by Mr. Abdur Rehman Bharucha (1909 –
2001), a pioneer IP professional in Pakistan, upon
his migration from India after independence of
Pakistan (August 1947).
The firm gets its strength from collective
excellence of highly qualified legal minds and
technical experts having experience of several
decades as well as ever increasing fresh blood. It
is a destination for officers of IP offices in
Pakistan post retirements. In its 70 years of
existence in the IP profession, Bharucha & Co. has
excelled in its main areas of practice involving all
aspects of patents, trademarks, designs, copyright,
domain names, licensing, franchising and litigation.
In addition, it has developed an extensive and
dynamic network of law firms in neighbouring
countries, mainly in South Asia and Gulf countries
so it can assure its clients of reliable assistance
in the said countries as well.
The firm takes pride in being a client oriented
service provider catering to the needs of
individuals to large domestic and international
corporations predominantly from the US, Europe and
Asia as well countries in the Middle East and Far
