Legal Assistant

About This Job

The National Tariff Commission (NTC) has advertised one contract-basis vacancy for Legal Assistant, based in Islamabad, through the National Jobs Portal. This is a lump-sum-pay contract engagement rather than a fixed BPS or PPS grade, and is advertised alongside NTC's Econometric Expert/Economist vacancy in the same recruitment round, both closing on the same date. The Legal Assistant will support the Commission's legal wing with research on trade laws, assist with court proceedings related to tariff and trade-remedy cases, manage case files, draft legal documents, and maintain organized case records for ongoing and past tariff matters.

Eligible candidates must be graduates, with a law degree from an HEC-recognized institution preferred over a general degree, though the advertisement does not make a law degree strictly mandatory. No minimum years of professional experience is specified in the advertisement for this post, making it accessible to recent law graduates as well as more experienced candidates. However, the role does require familiarity with WTO (World Trade Organization) agreements and international trade remedy regimes, given the Commission's specific mandate around tariff policy and trade-remedy investigations — a subject-matter requirement that candidates should be prepared to demonstrate even in the absence of a formal minimum experience threshold. No age limit, gender, domicile, or quota restriction is mentioned in the advertisement, and no application fee is charged for this post.

Interested candidates should apply through the National Jobs Portal by logging into a PAK-ID verified account, or registering for one if they don't already have it, completing the online application form, and uploading their CV along with educational and experience certificates. Applications must be submitted before the closing date of 8 October 2026. Law graduates with an interest in trade law and international economic regulation, particularly those who have studied or worked with WTO frameworks and trade remedy procedures during their legal training, are encouraged to apply for this single available post before the window closes. This posting is advertised together with NTC's Econometric Expert/Economist vacancy in the same recruitment cycle, and both roles follow the Commission's standard contract-basis, lump-sum engagement structure rather than a regular BPS-scale appointment. Candidates are encouraged to briefly note any exposure to trade law, WTO dispute mechanisms, or anti-dumping/countervailing-duty proceedings in their application, since this subject-matter familiarity is likely to be a meaningful differentiator during shortlisting. As with NTC's Economist vacancy advertised alongside it, this is a single-vacancy, contract-basis post, and the specific tenure and renewal arrangements will be communicated directly to the selected candidate once the recruitment process is complete.
