About Abul Nurullah

Adv Abul Nurullah, an advocate at TRW & Co in Dhaka, works on arbitration court applications & award challenges and international arbitration. The practice of Abul Nurullah is built on careful analysis of the facts, a firm command of procedure and advice that clients can act on.

Abul Nurullah advises on arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, from drafting effective dispute clauses to preparing claims, defences and applications to the courts in support of arbitration. The focus is on resolving disputes efficiently and on awards that can be enforced.

Abul Nurullah works within TRW's Disputes & Arbitration group and draws on colleagues across the firm when a matter crosses into construction claims & project disputes or contract law and breach of contract, giving clients a single point of contact and a joined-up strategy.

Clients of Abul Nurullah include contractors, suppliers, investors, shipowners and trading companies. 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.
