Adoption and child law specialists

Adoption and guardianship are major areas of concentration at Tahera Hasan & Co. We have handled numerous domestic and international adoptions. There is a lack of accurate information about adoption in Pakistan. Since it’s our focus, we provide accurate information and round the clock representation to see adoptive couples through the paper work.

We know how the adoption process can be lengthy, frustrating and filled with uncertainty. In fact because of this knowledge, we are readily able to help clients navigate their way through the adoption process preparing them for the legal steps that need to be taken. Knowing the joy that adoption brings to both the child and the adopting parents, we are blessed to assist our clients during this exciting time in their lives. Call 44 07590349215

In the media sector, Tahera has provided corporate, commercial and regulatory advice to operators and distributors in the publishing, cable TV, music, sports, marketing and broadcasting sectors.

Recently the Children’s Minister Tim Loughton said that the UK’s “Spanish Inquisition” style adoption process is too slow and bureaucratic. Adopting from overseas involves visas and Tahera would add to the minister’s observations that the UK Border Agency takes a minimum of 4 months to grant visas to children who have been adopted by UK citizens, whereas the USA grants the same visas in three days to a week’s time.
