About Nafis Chowdhury

In intellectual property and technology matters Nafis Chowdhury offers practical, commercially minded advice on registration, licensing, enforcement and compliance, so that clients can protect valuable rights without slowing their business down.

Nafis Chowdhury acts for brand owners, creators, software businesses, e-commerce platforms and start-ups. Whether the matter is urgent or long-running, the same standards apply: accurate advice, documents prepared with care, deadlines tracked closely and a straightforward explanation of each step and its consequences.

Many matters in Bangladesh turn on procedure as much as on substance: the right forum, the correct court fee, the limitation period and the evidence that a court or authority will accept. Close attention is paid to these points from the outset, because getting them right avoids delay and protects the client's position later.
