International Arbitration and litigation
International Arbitration and Litigation Legal Services in Bangladesh
Our legal consulting firm in Bangladesh boasts a team of the best arbitration and litigation lawyers, providing a wide array of services, including the initiation of civil and criminal cases in Bangladeshi courts, filing appeals and revisions, and instituting cases in administrative tribunals. Our litigation services cover issues such as cheque dishonor, money laundering, criminal breach of trust, cheating, fraud, extortion, defamation, forgery, and theft.
Our impressive track record in dispute resolution has earned us a solid reputation, allowing us to operate on equal footing with leading global law firms. We represent both major players in the Bangladeshi economy and transnational corporations with interests in Bangladesh.
Our lawyers specialize in various areas, including corporate, antitrust, construction, maritime, insurance, investment disputes, and intellectual property disputes in state courts and international commercial litigation and arbitration.
In Bangladesh, both civil and criminal litigation follow an adversarial process, where the court conducts hearings within a complex set of rules to determine guilt or liability. All criminal proceedings are governed by the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898, while civil proceedings are regulated under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Our firm recognizes the importance of Alternative Dispute Resolution methods, including arbitration, mediation, negotiation, and conciliation, which are essential for resolving contentious matters outside the court. The Government of Bangladesh has implemented the following acts to facilitate ADR procedures:
- The Arbitration Act 2001 (Act no I of 2001)
- Insertion of sections 89A, 89B, and 89C in the CPC as mechanisms for ADR in pending civil cases.
Our experience in arbitration includes representing clients in proceedings under various international arbitration institutions such as:
- AAA – American Arbitration Association
- ICC – International Court of Arbitration
- ICSID – International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes
- LCIA – London International Court of Arbitration
- SCC – Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce
- ICAC – International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation
- GAFTA – International Grain and Feed Trade Association

We also accompany trials in the UN International Court of Justice, the Court of the European Union, and other state courts globally.
