About Shanzana Khan

Adv Shanzana Khan 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.

Shanzana Khan guides clients through sensitive family and succession questions with clarity. Whether the issue is a divorce notice, guardianship of a child or the division of an estate among heirs, the focus is on protecting rights while keeping the process as calm and private as the law allows.

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

Shanzana 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.

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.

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