About Khalilullah

Adv Khalilullah, an advocate at TRW & Co in Dhaka, works on residential property and apartment purchase and leasing & tenancy. The practice of Khalilullah is built on careful analysis of the facts, a firm command of procedure and advice that clients can act on.

Khalilullah advises buyers, owners, families and developers on the full life of a property: due diligence, deeds and registration, mutation and record correction, and the disputes that arise when titles overlap. The aim is a clean, defensible position on the land.

Because TRW operates as one firm across its practice fields, Khalilullah can bring in colleagues on property development planning & approvals, real estate disputes and cross-border questions quickly, while keeping responsibility for the client's matter clear.

Clients of Khalilullah include buyers, landowners, heirs, developers, lenders and non-resident Bangladeshis. 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.
