Our Core Real Estate and Property Legal Services
Property Due Diligence and Title Verification
Before buying or leasing any property, we conduct detailed due-diligence checks to verify ownership, encumbrances, mutation records, and registration history. This prevents legal surprises and fraudulent transactions.
Deed Drafting and Registration

Land Development and Construction Advisory
We assist developers and builders with Joint-Venture Agreements (JVA), land development contracts, project financing, and regulatory approvals from RAJUK, CDA, and other authorities.
Mutation and Record Correction
We help clients update and correct mutation records (Khatians and Dag numbers) at the DC and AC Land Offices to reflect true ownership — a vital step for future transactions and tax records.
Real Estate Dispute Resolution
Our experienced litigation team handles land-ownership disputes, boundary conflicts, tenancy disagreements, and breach-of-contract cases before civil courts, tribunals, and the Supreme Court of Bangladesh.
Property Taxation and Compliance
We advise on property tax implications, capital-gain taxes, stamp duties, and registration fees so you remain compliant and minimize costs.
Foreign and Cross-Border Property Investment
For NRBs and foreign investors, we provide complete legal representation — from structuring investment vehicles to securing BOI or BIDA approvals and remittance documentation.
