About Mohammed Firoz Khan
Mohammed Firoz Khan is a MENA Partner with TRW & Co in Dubai. Mohammed Firoz Khan advises on Islamic finance, Islamic capital markets and related matters, and is known within the team for thorough preparation and straightforward, practical advice.
Mohammed Firoz Khan 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.
Mohammed Firoz Khan works within TRW's Corporate & Finance group and draws on colleagues across the firm when a matter crosses into VARA virtual asset service provider licensing in Dubai or DFSA and DIFC digital assets and fintech authorisation, giving clients a single point of contact and a joined-up strategy.
Clients of Mohammed Firoz Khan 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.
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.
