A frequent presence before Pakistan’s superior courts, Mahmood also represents numerous companies before major regulatory bodies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the Pakistan Stock Exchange, and the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority. His extensive regulatory and litigation experience in banking, constitutional law, and oil and gas has made him a trusted advisor for clients navigating complex legal landscapes.
In addition to his legal practice, Mahmood is deeply committed to education and thought leadership. He has served as visiting faculty at Quaid-e-Azam Law College and Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), and has lectured at the Rausing Executive Development Centre at LUMS and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, where he has contributed to the training of directors in corporate governance.
Mahmood is also passionate about social responsibility.
