Every 27th December I think of Benazir Bhutto and what could have been.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
Very happy to share my latest article ‘The Legitimacy Gap in Borrowed Laws’. I argue that legitimacy is as important as compatibility for the success of borrowed laws especially economic laws.

the lights of the West End will dim this evening in memory of legend Tom Stoppard x
Rest in Peace #TomStoppard. I have loved your work since I first read it at Bryn Mawr as part of my Modern British Drama course. Rosencrantz & Guildernstern are Dead was a particular favourite but so was Indian Ink and Leopoldstadz. Thank you for your wit & your language!
When the playwright Tom Stoppard died, “he left behind a theatre changed by his blistering intellect and blazing success, the heat and light that made the rest of our English-language garden grow,” Helen Shaw writes.

Deeply honoured. When I left my legal career in Pakistan in 2012 I didn’t know if I’d ever go back in any way. Thank you @CCP_Pakistan for giving me the opportunity. Look forward to balancing this with my work at @law_uom

My latest op-Ed in DAWN where I talk about cartels and why we as consumers should care about them.
Although the op-Ed focuses on Pakistan it is relevant for anyone who is unclear about why cartels are problematic.
