TRW is rooted in Dhaka and works on the legal questions that arise when business, people and disputes connect with Bangladesh.

Based in Dhaka, engaged with matters beyond one border

Bangladesh is a dynamic legal and commercial environment. Clients may be dealing with a domestic business question, an investment, an international counterparty, a regulatory body, a court or an arbitral process. Our role is to turn the legal aspects of that situation into a clear, structured course of action.

TRW Law Firm is a full-service international law firm based in Dhaka. We bring together 220+ lawyers and legal professionals. When a matter has a Bangladesh connection—whether the transaction is governed by Bangladeshi law, the contract is performed in Bangladesh, assets are located here, or a dispute will be litigated or arbitrated here—our team handles the practical, procedural and strategic steps clients need to manage risk and pursue their objectives.

How we approach matters with a Bangladesh connection

We coordinate local law advice with cross-border strategy. That means advising on the governing law and jurisdiction that best protects your commercial position; identifying regulatory approvals and licensing that must be obtained in Bangladesh; structuring investments and contracts to reduce enforcement risk; and preparing for dispute-resolution routes that can deliver timely, enforceable relief. Our work covers corporate transactions, regulatory clearance, employment and immigration issues, tax and customs planning, intellectual property protection, and litigating or arbitrating disputes in Dhaka.

Practical legal issues you should expect

The mechanics of doing business or resolving disputes in Bangladesh differ from many other jurisdictions. Below are the most common, practical legal issues our clients face and how we address them.

Governing law, jurisdiction and forum selection

Parties can choose Bangladeshi or foreign governing law. Choosing Bangladeshi law simplifies local enforcement and interpretation, but foreign law with a neutral arbitration seat may be preferable in cross-border deals. We draft choice-of-law and dispute-resolution clauses that reflect your enforcement priorities—whether that is speedy interim relief in the High Court Division in Dhaka, or international arbitration with enforcement under the New York Convention. Outcomes and enforceability are fact-dependent and require tailored drafting.

Regulatory and sectoral approvals

Many commercial activities require clearances from Bangladesh regulators. Examples include banking and finance approvals from Bangladesh Bank, capital markets matters with the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission, telecommunications with the BTRC, and customs and tax clearances through the National Board of Revenue. We map the approvals required early in the transaction timetable and coordinate submissions, applications and communications with regulators to reduce delay and compliance risk.

Company formation, corporate diligence and local presence

Company registration and corporate due diligence typically involve filings with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) and related corporate governance checks. Foreign investment or branch structures may require additional filings and obligations. We conduct targeted due diligence on ownership, encumbrances, statutory compliance and board-level authorities to make sure transactions close cleanly in Bangladesh.

Evidence, authentication and translations

Clients frequently need verified documents, witness statements and expert reports from Bangladesh. Because Bangladesh is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, many foreign documents require legalization through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and consular legalization at the relevant embassy or mission. Official proceedings and regulatory filings often require certified Bangla translations. We prepare the necessary authentication and translation chains so evidence and corporate documents are accepted by courts and regulators.

Dispute resolution and enforcement in Dhaka

Litigation timelines, interim relief procedures and enforcement pathways are local realities. The High Court Division can grant injunctions and other interim measures; arbitration awards are typically enforced under the New York Convention and local arbitration law, subject to challenge on narrow grounds. Enforcement of foreign judgments is limited in some circumstances, and fresh proceedings or reciprocal enforcement mechanisms may be necessary. We combine courtroom experience with arbitration practice to choose and execute the dispute-resolution route most likely to succeed given the facts.

Actionable checklist for clients with Bangladesh exposure

  • Confirm early whether Bangladesh law or foreign law will govern and identify the preferred enforcement forum.
  • Map sectoral regulators applicable to your activity and obtain pre-clearance advice before signing binding commitments.
  • Assemble authenticated corporate documents and arrange certified Bangla translations in advance of filings.
  • Build interim relief strategies into dispute clauses to preserve assets or evidence in Dhaka.
  • Engage experienced local counsel to coordinate filings, attend hearings and shepherd regulatory approvals.
  • Plan for longer lead times on cross-border authentication, permit approvals and court schedules; budget accordingly.
Our advice is always fact-dependent: the right structure or dispute strategy for one transaction often differs for another because of industry rules, the parties’ leverage and the relief sought. If your matter involves Bangladesh—whether transactional, regulatory, employment, compliance or dispute resolution—we can assess the specific facts, map the practical steps you need, and help implement them from our Dhaka base.
