Haad Malik

Pursuing LLM in Corporate Law

Haad Malik is a practicing lawyer who believes the legal profession is about much more than just contracts and court dates, it's fundamentally about people, systems, and finding better ways to make things work. He holds an LLB from Quaid-i-Azam University and, always looking for the next challenge, is currently pursuing an LLM in Corporate Law. While corporate and commercial law keep him busy, his real passion lies in looking at the bigger picture and having the audacity to suggest how things could be improved. This natural curiosity took him to the Pakistan Institute for Parliamentary Services, where he published a cross-country analysis of climate change legislation in the Parliamentary Research Digest. When he isn't deep in legal research, you'll likely find him dedicating his time to community initiatives like Wall of Hope and Read Pakistan, always looking for practical ways to give back and make a positive impact.
