GA-Alliance lands in Pakistan: strategic partnership signed with Axis Law Chambers
MILAN – 29 January 2026
GA-Alliance, a global legal and tax firm with more than 2,600 professionals in 80 countries, announces its entry into the Pakistani market. The strategic partnership with Axis Law Chambers, a leading full‑service law firm in the region, marks a further expansion of GA‑Alliance’s network, which today covers geographies that generate nearly 90% of global GDP.
The agreement strengthens GA‑Alliance’s commitment to its “one‑stop‑shop” strategy. By integrating local expertise with the highest global standards, the Alliance offers clients a single, efficient access point for all legal and tax needs. This model removes the complexities of managing multiple advisers across different jurisdictions, delivering a coordinated and seamless experience that prioritizes clarity and business growth.
Axis Law Chambers brings to the Alliance a reputation for excellence, particularly in high‑value cross‑border mandates and advice on complex regulatory matters. Regularly listed by Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, Axis Law stands out for its transactional work in corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), employment law, intellectual property, foreign investment, public‑private partnerships, corporate governance, antitrust, tax, data protection and sectoral compliance. The firm advises clients in key industries such as energy, oil & gas, mining, healthcare, telecommunications, automotive, financial services, defense, retail, manufacturing, agriculture, media, IT, logistics, real estate and non‑profit organizations.
Axis Law also boasts one of Pakistan’s most authoritative dispute resolution practices, including litigation and international arbitration, with solid experience in proceedings before ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, based in Washington, D.C., and part of the World Bank), ICC (International Chamber of Commerce, based in Paris) and LCIA (London Court of International Arbitration, based in London). This depth of expertise ensures GA‑Alliance clients receive top‑level support in the world’s fifth most populous country, one of the most dynamic economies in Asia.
Francesco Sciaudone, Managing Partner of GA‑Alliance, emphasized the strategic importance of the operation: “Our entry into Pakistan through the partnership with Axis Law Chambers is another step that strengthens our global growth path. At GA‑Alliance, the goal is to simplify complexity for our clients. By extending our ‘one‑stop‑shop’ model to an outstanding Pakistani firm, we are increasingly able to offer our clients the ability to operate with confidence in a very large number of markets worldwide. We are not only expanding our geographic presence; we are enhancing a sophisticated ecosystem where international best practices and precision meet local market leadership to meet clients’ needs in a simple, direct and highly efficient way.”
