About Amirul Islam

Adv Amirul Islam is an advocate at TRW & Co, based in Dhaka, with a practice focused on child custody & guardianship and Islamic family law. Clients come to the team for clear advice, careful preparation and steady representation from the first consultation to the final step.

Family matters are personal, and Amirul Islam handles them with discretion and care. The advice is practical: what the law provides on divorce, dower, maintenance, custody and inheritance, what a court is likely to do, and how a settlement can protect children and family relationships where that is possible.

At TRW, Amirul Islam works alongside the firm's partners and associates across six fields of practice, so a matter that touches inheritance & succession or land registration & title is handled by one coordinated team rather than passed between separate advisers.

Amirul Islam acts for individuals, parents, heirs and non-resident Bangladeshi families. 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.

To discuss a matter with Amirul Islam, book a consultation or contact the firm. Read more about the wider team on the TRW people page.
