Carrying forward the legacy of Bashir Shaikh, the trust aims to work for the betterment of legal professionals working in any capacity and considering their needs, the Trust aims to take the legal fraternity on board and provide them with a number of unparalleled benefits. The two initiatives taken by the trust are given below:

Advocates Cover ®

We believe that it is vital for our legal fraternity to lead a financially secure life and in case of any mishap; their family may not suffer from any monetary constraints. To ensure that, the trust provides its members with a Life Insurance Coverage Policy. Under this initiative 1000 members of the trust will be provided a Life Insurance Coverage policy worth up to Rs.1,000,000 at no cost. These members are selected by nominations and balloting done under the supervision of our Nomination Panel. The nomination and balloting process will conclude by December 15, 2011 for the all the members who joined the trust on or before November 30, 2011.

The life insurance cover will be valid for a year extending from January 01, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

Life Insurance Claim Process

In case of any natural or accidental mishap leading to the demise of a BSMT member, the nominee may contact the BSMT office along with the following documents:

  • Nominee shall bring the deceased member's Membership Card to claim the insurance amount.
  • Nominee shall bring the Death Certificate of the deceased BSMT member.
  • Nominee shall bring his/her original CNIC

BSMT will then verify the member's details for further processing. Once verification is complete, BSMT will call the nominee of the BSMT member to collect the insurance amount.

Mobilegal®

Under this initiative the trust aims to work for the mobilization of jobs for the legal community in the local and international markets.
