Key points:

  • On 2 September 2026, Akhund Forbes introduced Conclavity at a launch ceremony held in Karachi’s Mövenpick Hotel.
  • The platform employs artificial intelligence to conduct legal research and draft documents, drawing exclusively from Pakistani statutes, case law and regulatory materials.
  • Designed for law firms and in‑house counsel, Conclavity promises to cut down the time spent on routine tasks while boosting accuracy through locally‑relevant precedents.
  • It is billed as the first AI‑driven legal solution tailored specifically to the Pakistani jurisdiction, filling a gap left by tools trained on foreign legal systems.

Akhund Forbes partner Rabel Akhund unveiled Conclavity before a crowd of senior lawyers, technology investors and representatives from the corporate sector. The demonstration highlighted how the system can parse a complex contract clause, suggest amendments, and instantly cite the applicable provisions of the Companies Act 2017, the Banking Companies Ordinance and recent Supreme Court judgments. Attendees were shown a live comparison in which the AI completed a due‑diligence memorandum in a fraction of the time a junior associate would traditionally need.

The launch comes at a time when AI is reshaping professional workflows worldwide, yet the Pakistani legal market has lagged behind because most existing platforms are trained on U.S. or U.K. law. By grounding its algorithms in the country’s own legislative corpus, Conclavity aims to overcome the compliance blind spots that local counsel often encounter when using generic tools. For firms that regularly navigate the intricacies of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) regulations or provincial labour statutes, the service could become a critical efficiency enhancer.

Industry observers see the debut as a milestone in the digital transformation of Pakistan’s legal ecosystem. If adoption scales, the technology could free up junior lawyers for higher‑value advisory work, reduce billing hours for clients, and set a precedent for other home‑grown AI solutions in sectors where localized knowledge is paramount. Akhund Forbes plans to roll out subscription tiers for both large firms and solo practitioners, positioning Conclavity as a versatile asset in a market eager for home‑grown technological innovation.
