About Shifuzzaman

Adv Shifuzzaman, an advocate at TRW & Co in Dhaka, works on litigation and disputes and commercial litigation. The practice of Shifuzzaman is built on careful analysis of the facts, a firm command of procedure and advice that clients can act on.

Shifuzzaman builds civil and commercial cases from the documents up: the contract, the correspondence and the payment trail come first, and the pleadings follow from what the record can prove. That discipline keeps claims focused, avoids avoidable amendments and gives the court a clear account of what is in dispute.

At TRW, Shifuzzaman works alongside the firm's partners and associates across six fields of practice, so a matter that touches contract law and breach of contract or appellate litigation is handled by one coordinated team rather than passed between separate advisers.

Shifuzzaman acts for traders, manufacturers, landowners, family businesses and foreign companies with interests in Bangladesh. 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.
