Questions
Private Client and Employment: answers.
Short answers to the questions clients ask private client lawyers in Bangladesh before they instruct us.
Book consultation →How is inheritance decided in Bangladesh?
Succession generally follows the personal law of the deceased: Muslim law for Muslims and the relevant personal law or the Succession Act 1925 for others. Shares, documentation and mutation of inherited land should be settled together to avoid later disputes.
Can non-resident Bangladeshis manage property from abroad?
Yes. With a properly executed power of attorney under the Power of Attorney Act 2012, a trusted person or lawyer can act locally. We handle title checks, mutation, registration and disputes, and report in writing.
Do private client lawyers in Bangladesh handle probate?
Yes. Where a will exists, probate may be sought from the court; where there is no will, letters of administration or succession certificates may be needed to deal with bank accounts and assets.
What must an employment contract in Bangladesh include?
Terms must comply with the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 as amended, covering appointment, wages, working hours, leave, benefits and termination. We review contracts and policies so they are enforceable and compliant.
How do foreign employees get work permits in Bangladesh?
Work permits are issued by the relevant investment or zone authority depending on where the employer is registered, followed by the appropriate visa. Applications need the employer’s registration and supporting documents in order.
