About Babul Khan

As an advocate at TRW & Co in Dhaka, Adv Babul Khan focuses on divorce procedure and child custody & guardianship. Babul Khan combines attention to detail with a calm, solution-focused approach to each matter.

Family matters are personal, and Babul Khan 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, Babul Khan works alongside the firm's partners and associates across six fields of practice, so a matter that touches Islamic family law or real estate disputes is handled by one coordinated team rather than passed between separate advisers.

Babul Khan 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.
