Legal And General

What Legal And General does

Legal and General Consultants (Pvt) Ltd is a privately held, Pakistan-domiciled visa and education consultancy founded in 2005. The firm provides end-to-end study abroad services for Pakistani students, spanning university and scholarship guidance, student visa facilitation, personal statement (SOP) writing assistance, mock interview preparation, and pre- and post-departure workshops. The service portfolio has been productized into country-specific offerings covering Canada, Germany, Australia, the USA, the UK, Belarus, China, Ireland, Uzbekistan, Turkey, and Japan, with additional visit-visa services for tourism, business, and family reunification.

The company operates a small physical footprint: headquarters in Minsk, Belarus (Building #17, Bratskaya, 220065), a primary office in Rawalpindi (Bahria Town Phase 4), and a contact office in Islamabad, supported by a multi-channel digital presence across website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, and SEO. Leadership consists of CEO Khakan Mehmood (UK business graduate) and Legal Advisor Imran Mehmood (High Court advocate with a UK LLM). Strategic partnerships with ApplyBoard (a global education platform) and the University of Chester UK, alongside unspecified relationships with multiple international universities, serve as the primary referral and admissions channels.

The business model is a sales-led professional services consultancy monetized through per-case fees for immigration and study abroad advisory work; pricing is not publicly disclosed. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI tooling, no disclosed headcount, and no institutional funding. The firm claims 5,000+ successful cases, 19+ years of experience, a 96% consultation success rate, and a 98% student visa success rate, positioning itself on specialist expertise and end-to-end service bundling rather than on technology differentiation or scale.
