More Than a Century of Legal Practice
OUR LAWYERS & ASSOCIATES
Fahad Ahmad Siddiqi
Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan — Principal & Lead Counsel, Lahore
Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan, Principal and Lead Counsel, Lahore
Fahad Ahmad Siddiqi began practice in 2002, was enrolled in the Lahore High Court in 2004 and in the Supreme Court in 2025. He was educated at Aitchison College, Government College Lahore and University Law College, University of the Punjab. Since 2009 his practice has centred on child custody, guardianship, visitation, shared parenting and related constitutional litigation.
Much of his work has been about keeping parent-child relationships alive after separation. He pioneered at-home visitation in 2017 and has argued for interim, overnight and extended access, shared parenting and joint guardianship before the High Court and Supreme Court. His cases also include recovery of minors, relocation, international custody, appeals and public-interest petitions.
He is the author of three books on Pakistani custody law and shared parenting, a contributor to the Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child, and has written widely in legal journals and online platforms. He has presented at judicial and academic conferences in Pakistan and abroad, and has submitted proposals for Family Court reform.
His starting point is simple: a custody case is not a contest between parents. It is about the child, and about how the law can protect that child while keeping both parents in her life where possible.
