About Shahnaz Babli

Adv Shahnaz Babli is an advocate at TRW & Co, based in Dhaka, with a practice focused on evidence act and trial advocacy and real estate disputes. Clients come to the team for clear advice, careful preparation and steady representation from the first consultation to the final step.

In civil matters Shahnaz Babli concentrates on the decisions that shape a case early: the right forum, the correct valuation of the claim, interim relief and the evidence that will carry the day. Clients receive a realistic view of timing and cost before proceedings begin.

Because TRW operates as one firm across its practice fields, Shahnaz Babli can bring in colleagues on dispute resolution, arbitration and cross-border questions quickly, while keeping responsibility for the client's matter clear.

Clients of Shahnaz Babli include traders, manufacturers, landowners, family businesses and foreign companies with interests in Bangladesh. Each matter begins with a clear plan: what must be proved or documented, which authority or court is involved, what it will cost and how long it is likely to take. That clarity lets clients make decisions early, when they have the most options.

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.
