About Maung Than

Adv Maung Than, an advocate at TRW & Co in Dhaka, works on debt finance and loan documentation and bank guarantees & documentary credit disputes. The practice of Maung Than is built on careful analysis of the facts, a firm command of procedure and advice that clients can act on.

Maung Than works on banking and finance matters for lenders, borrowers and guarantors, covering loan and security documentation, recovery proceedings and the regulatory rules set by Bangladesh Bank. The advice links the paperwork to what will matter if a facility comes under strain.

Clients of Maung Than include banks, financial institutions, borrowers, guarantors 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.

Good outcomes usually come from good preparation. The documents are reviewed in detail, identifies gaps before the other side does, and keeps clients informed so that settlement opportunities and procedural risks are spotted early rather than late.
