I help clients navigate Bangladesh law and cross-border legal matters from contract review and debt recovery to litigation support and legal opinions. If your matter touches Bangladesh courts, commercial law, or international contracts governed by common law, I can handle it.
My practice covers:
— Contract drafting, vetting, and full review (commercial agreements, NDAs, investment agreements, domain/IP transfers, redlining)
— Debt recovery and money suit proceedings under the Artha Rin Adalat Ain 2003 and Negotiable Instruments Act 1881
— Demand notices, legal opinions, and regulatory verification
— Bangladesh court representation: commercial disputes, contractual claims, and writ petitions before the High Court Division
— Litigation support documents: statements of defence, counterclaims, arbitration pleadings
— Legal research memoranda to common law and U.S. standards
— Legal Opinions on complex areas of commercial, family and labour laws
I am a practicing Advocate before the District & Sessions Judge Court, Dhaka, with full working knowledge of the Contract Act 1872, Code of Civil Procedure 1908, Arbitration Act 2001, and the broader Bangladesh civil and commercial framework. I hold an LLB from the University of London and an LLM in International Trade Law.
I also provide remote legal support to international clients and law firms, producing research summaries, drafting and revising pleadings, and managing documents within structured workflows (NetDocuments, ClickUp). I am experienced with time-tracked remote engagements and U.S.-style working environments.
In 2025, I represented Bangladesh at the White & Case International Rounds of the Philip C. Jessup Moot Court Competition in Washington D.C., and received Best Speaker awards at three national competitions in a single year; a reflection of the research depth and precision I bring to client work.
