About the Founder

Adeen Ahmed Siddiqi

Advocate High Court (Pakistan) · Founder, Legalx

A lawyer who blends courtroom discipline with engineering precision

I’m an Islamabad‑based Advocate of the High Court and the founder of Legalx, a boutique practice built to deliver clear, rigorous and business‑minded legal solutions. My background is unusual: I studied Engineering at University College London (UCL) and later completed my LLB from the University of London. That training taught me to treat every legal problem like a complex system—define the variables, stress‑test the assumptions, and design the simplest mechanism that works.

Grounded in high‑stakes litigation

I completed a two‑year clerkship with Justice Babar Sattar at the Islamabad High Court. In that role I supported research and drafting on matters that shaped public law and governance, including challenges involving civil liberties, executive power and regulatory action. Notable workstreams I contributed to included cases such as Shehryar Afridi v. Federation of Pakistan and PIA v. Muhammad Saleem Sherwani. The experience sharpened my sense for strategy, precision in written advocacy, and respect for how decisions affect real people and real businesses.

Writing & speaking

I regularly distill legal and quantitative topics for non‑lawyers—whether it’s explaining redlining in contracts, mapping client‑acquisition funnels for law practices, or translating complex tax provisions into decision trees. If you enjoy rigorous thinking presented plainly, we’ll work well together.
