Abstract

Purpose - The study aims to explore the challenges of developing jurisdictions like Pakistan in achieving significant mutual legal assistance from the international community, especially for sharing financial information.

The selection of financial experts for interviews was based on purposive sampling. Findings - This study concluded that Pakistan is facing several challenges, including mistrust of the international community; political disinterestedness and instability; delaying tactics in implementation, capacity and resources of law enforcers; and proximity with hostile neighbours. Originality/value - Rare studies discussed this issue in the Pakistani context.
