TRW & Co (Tahmidur Remura Wahid) is a full-service law firm in Bangladesh, headquartered in Dhaka. The firm advises companies, investors, financial institutions, public bodies, families and individuals on disputes, transactions, regulation and private client matters.

Much of the work is cross-border. Clients come to the firm when a Bangladeshi question sits inside a larger commercial picture: a foreign investor entering the market, a lender taking security over local assets, a family with property in Dhaka and members in London or New York, or a contractor facing a claim on a project in Bangladesh.

Being a law firm in Bangladesh with an international outlook means the advice has to work in two places at once: in the Bangladeshi courts and registries, and in the boardroom or family meeting where the decision is actually taken.

The firm is organised into six fields of work rather than isolated departments: disputes and arbitration; corporate and finance; technology, IP and data; projects and real estate; trade, competition and regulation; and private client and employment.

Each matter has one responsible lawyer. That lawyer brings in colleagues from other fields when the question requires it, so a transaction, its regulatory approvals and any dispute that follows are handled as one programme rather than three separate instructions.

For clients, this structure means fewer hand-offs and a single point of accountability. It is the way we believe a modern law firm in Bangladesh should work for clients whose matters do not fit neatly into one practice area.

The firm is led by its three founding partners. Barrister Tahmidur Rahman focuses on transactions, finance, investment and international arbitration. Barrister Remura Meheruba Mahbub advises on arbitration, corporate, banking and foreign investment matters and is also admitted as a solicitor of England and Wales (non-practising). Adv Syed Wahid leads the firm’s litigation and courtroom practice in Dhaka.

They work with partners, associates and advocates in Dhaka and with colleagues connected to London, Dubai, the United States and Singapore. The full team is shown in the directory above.

As a law firm in Bangladesh serving both local and international clients, TRW acts for:

Client relationships are confidential. Public milestones, such as directory listings and deal records, are collected on the achievements page with links to each source.

The Legal 500 Asia Pacific ranks Tahmidur Remura Wahid (TRW) Law Firm for dispute resolution in Bangladesh, and lists the name partners in its Bangladesh arbitrators category. IFLR1000 shows dated deal highlights in its Bangladesh firm profile.

You can read the firm’s Legal 500 profile directly. We prefer clients to check independent sources rather than rely on our own description of a law firm in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is connected to the rest of the world through trade, remittances and investment, and legal questions follow the same routes. The firm regularly works alongside counsel in the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, China, India and Singapore.

Where a matter needs advice on foreign law, we coordinate with trusted counsel in that jurisdiction and remain responsible for the Bangladeshi position. Clients receive one integrated view instead of separate opinions that do not speak to each other.

This is the practical difference an international law firm in Bangladesh makes: the local steps, such as registration, court filings or regulatory approvals, are planned with the foreign side of the transaction in mind from the start.

At any law firm in Bangladesh, every new instruction should start with a conflict check, and ours does. After that, we agree the scope, the team and the fee basis in writing before any substantive work begins.

For most matters the first step is a consultation, in Dhaka or by video call. Bring the documents you have and a short chronology. We will tell you what we need, what the realistic options are and what the next step should be.

If you are comparing firms, ask each law firm in Bangladesh you speak to who will actually do the work, how they will report to you and how fees will be controlled. Those answers matter more than any brochure.

Bangladeshi matters often move between areas of law. A foreign direct investment can raise company law, foreign exchange, tax, employment and land questions at the same time. A commercial dispute may require an injunction in the High Court Division while an arbitration proceeds abroad.

A full-service law firm in Bangladesh can see these connections early. That is why TRW keeps its fields of work under one roof and asks one partner to hold the whole picture for the client.

Disputes are a core part of the practice. The firm acts in commercial litigation before the High Court Division and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, in writ petitions under Article 102 of the Constitution, and in district court proceedings across Bangladesh.

In arbitration, the firm advises on domestic arbitration under the Arbitration Act 2001 and on international arbitration seated in Singapore, London, Dubai and elsewhere, including the enforcement of foreign awards in Bangladesh. For parties weighing litigation against arbitration, an experienced law firm in Bangladesh can explain how each forum is likely to treat the dispute in practice.

On the transactional side, the firm advises on company formation, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder arrangements and corporate restructuring. Finance work includes term and syndicated lending, security, trade finance, bonds and sukuk, and Islamic finance structures.

Foreign investment brings its own steps: registration with Invest Bangladesh (the agency that absorbed BIDA, BEZA and the PPP Authority in August 2026), Bangladesh Bank requirements for inward remittance and repatriation, and sector licences. A law firm in Bangladesh that handles these approvals regularly can sequence them so that the commercial timetable is realistic from the first draft of the term sheet.

Regulated businesses in Bangladesh deal with several authorities at once. The firm advises on telecommunications and BTRC licensing, pharmaceuticals and DGDA approvals, energy and environmental clearances, competition law and customs.

Technology clients receive advice on platform terms, data protection, digital signatures, payments and intellectual property, including trademark and copyright registration and enforcement.

Private client work covers succession and probate, succession certificates, family property, gifts and heba, trusts and waqf, and matrimonial matters under the personal laws that apply in Bangladesh. Many of these clients live abroad and need a law firm in Bangladesh that can act for them through a power of attorney.

Employers receive advice on hiring, contracts, policies, retrenchment, termination and disputes under the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, and on work permits for foreign staff.

Clients receive written advice that starts with the answer, sets out the options and recommends a next step. For transactions and disputes, we agree a reporting rhythm at the outset, whether a weekly call, a written update after each hearing or a shared tracker.

As a bilingual law firm in Bangladesh, we work in English and Bangla, and prepare English summaries of Bangla documents and court orders for international clients.

A law firm in Bangladesh is trusted with information that matters a great deal to its clients. We protect confidentiality, avoid conflicts, explain fees in advance and tell clients plainly when a course of action carries risk.

If you are considering instructing the firm, the easiest first step is a consultation. You can contact our lawyers in Dhaka or book online.

Day to day, a law firm in Bangladesh works with courts, regulators and registries. These are the ones our clients meet most often:

Knowing how each institution works, and how long it usually takes, allows us to give clients a realistic plan rather than a theoretical one.

The firm works in English and Bangla, and publishes guidance in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and other languages for clients doing business with Bangladesh. When a client prefers to work in another language, we arrange interpretation and translation support so that nothing is lost between the advice and the decision.

The firm invests in legal knowledge so that clients benefit from it. Lawyers track new legislation, court decisions and regulator guidance, and the firm publishes practical guides on Bangladeshi law that clients and their advisers can use.

This knowledge work is part of what clients should expect from an international law firm in Bangladesh: advice informed by the current law, not last year’s position.

If you need a law firm in Bangladesh for a dispute, a transaction, a regulatory question or a family matter, the best way to judge fit is a conversation. Tell us about the matter, and we will tell you plainly how we would approach it, who would be responsible and what it is likely to involve.
