Disputeswon where they are decided.
Dispute resolution lawyers in Bangladesh: commercial litigation, international arbitration, enforcement and public-law challenges for clients whose disputes reach across Bangladesh and beyond.
Disputes and Arbitration
When a dispute has more than one forum, the strategy has to be one strategy. We run domestic proceedings and international arbitration side by side, so that interim relief in Dhaka, an award abroad and enforcement against assets in Bangladesh all point the same way.

As dispute resolution lawyers in Bangladesh, we act before the High Court Division and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, the commercial and civil courts, the Artha Rin Adalat for bank recovery and specialist tribunals. Our team also conducts arbitrations under institutional rules, including ICC, SIAC, LCIA, HKIAC and the Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre (BIAC), and in ad hoc proceedings under the UNCITRAL Rules.
Enforcement is planned from the first day. Arbitration seated in Bangladesh and the enforcement of foreign awards are governed by the Arbitration Act 2001, and Bangladesh is a party to the New York Convention. Where a matter also needs a writ under Article 102 of the Constitution, an injunction or a stay of a regulatory decision, the same team runs it, so that every filing supports the result the client needs.
How we work
How an engagement runs.
The same disciplined approach applies whether the matter is urgent or long-running.
Assess
We start with the decision you face, the documents and the deadlines, and confirm conflicts before any advice is given. Our dispute resolution lawyers in Bangladesh then set out the realistic options in writing.
Plan
A written scope, timetable and fee basis follow, with one responsible lawyer. Approvals, filings and counterparties are mapped so that nothing in Bangladesh or abroad is left to chance.
Act
The team drafts, negotiates, files and appears as the matter requires, bringing in specialists from other practices when the question crosses into their field.
Report
You receive clear updates on an agreed rhythm and a record of every step. When the matter closes, our dispute resolution lawyers in Bangladesh confirm what was achieved and what to watch next.

Questions
Disputes and Arbitration: answers.
Short answers to the questions clients ask dispute resolution lawyers in Bangladesh before they instruct us.
Book consultation →Do I need dispute resolution lawyers in Bangladesh if my contract has a foreign arbitration clause?
Usually, yes. The arbitration can run abroad, but interim measures against assets in Bangladesh, challenges brought in local courts and the enforcement of the final award all take place under Bangladeshi law, principally the Arbitration Act 2001. Local counsel should be involved from the notice of arbitration onwards.
Is Bangladesh a party to the New York Convention?
Yes. Bangladesh acceded to the New York Convention, so awards made in other Convention states can be enforced in Bangladesh through the procedure in the Arbitration Act 2001, subject to the limited grounds for refusal.
How long does commercial litigation take in Bangladesh?
It depends on the forum, the complexity of the evidence and whether interim applications or appeals are made. We give every client a realistic, written timetable at the outset and update it as the matter develops.
Can you act in arbitrations seated outside Bangladesh?
Yes. We act as counsel or co-counsel in arbitrations under ICC, SIAC, LCIA, HKIAC and other rules, working with counsel in the seat where needed, and we handle the Bangladesh-side proceedings that support them.
What is a writ petition and when is it used?
A writ petition under Article 102 of the Constitution asks the High Court Division to review the action of a public authority. It is used to challenge unlawful regulatory decisions, licence cancellations and similar acts, often alongside commercial proceedings.
