Guidance You Deserve
"A strong financial system needs strong legal guidance. We protect your transactions, manage risks, and help your business grow with confidence."
Loan transactions in Bangladesh require precise drafting, careful negotiation, and strict compliance with financial regulations. Mistakes in loan or security documentation can create serious risks for both lenders and borrowers. As a leading banking and finance law firm in Bangladesh, we prepare and review all types of financing documents, ensuring they fully protect the client’s interests.
Our banking and finance lawyers work with commercial banks, NBFIs, microfinance institutions, fintech lenders, corporate borrowers, investors, and development partners. Whether the transaction is a simple term loan or a complex syndicated financing, our team ensures that the documentation meets legal requirements and reflects the commercial deal accurately.
We prepare and structure key documents such as loan agreements, facility agreements, security sharing agreements, pledge agreements, mortgage deeds, hypothecation deeds, personal guarantees, corporate guarantees, and inter-creditor agreements. Each document is drafted to reduce uncertainty and ensure enforceability in Bangladesh’s courts and arbitration forums.
Our lawyers also help clients with foreign currency loans, export financing, working capital facilities, LCs, structured finance, project finance, and cross-border lending. In these cases, compliance with Bangladesh Bank regulations and foreign exchange laws becomes extremely important. We help clients navigate restrictions on repatriation, interest payments, documentation authentication, and approval processes.
We also conduct legal due diligence to identify risks, verify the borrower’s assets, check encumbrances, and ensure that the security package is properly perfected. Our team handles registration with the Sub-Registrar Office, RJSC charges, CIB issues, and other regulatory steps required for enforceability.
For lenders, our goal is to draft documents that ensure quick and effective recovery in case of default. For borrowers, we negotiate terms so the obligations are reasonable, compliant, and aligned with their commercial needs. The result is clear, balanced, and legally secure loan documentation that protects both sides in a fast-moving financial environment.
Financial institutions in Bangladesh operate under rigorous regulatory oversight. Banks, NBFIs, fintech companies, PSPs, PSOs, money service businesses, and lending platforms must comply with numerous requirements issued by Bangladesh Bank, BSEC, and NBR. Failure to comply can result in heavy fines, license suspension, or investigations.
Our law firm advises on every aspect of financial regulatory compliance. We help clients understand complex circulars, guidelines, and notifications, then implement practical steps to meet those obligations. Our banking and finance lawyers handle licensing, regulatory approvals, reporting requirements, KYC/AML frameworks, foreign exchange compliance, and audit-related documentation.
For fintech companies, PSPs, and digital lenders, regulatory clarity is extremely important. We guide them through licensing models, agent banking rules, e-money regulations, payment system standards, and data-related obligations. We help both established companies and startups structure their products legally and scale without regulatory surprises.
Financial institutions often face regulatory inspections, show-cause notices, or compliance observations. Our team assists in preparing responses, correcting compliance gaps, and representing clients before Bangladesh Bank or other regulators. We also assist foreign companies in understanding how to operate in Bangladesh’s financial sector legally, including joint ventures, foreign shareholding restrictions, and capital inflow rules.
Whether a client needs support for daily compliance or a completely new financial operation, our firm provides clear, actionable guidance. Clients trust us because we combine legal understanding with commercial sense, helping them navigate regulatory complexity smoothly.
Debt recovery in Bangladesh can be challenging, especially when borrowers default or disputes arise during repayment. Our lawyers support banks, NBFIs, leasing companies, corporate lenders, and investors through the entire recovery process.
We begin by assessing the loan documents and identifying the fastest and most effective recovery strategy. This may involve negotiation, restructuring, or formal legal action. Our banking and finance law firm handles cases under the Artha Rin Adalat Act, Money Loan Court Act, NI Act dishonor of cheques, insolvency proceedings, and arbitration.
Our team prepares demand notices, restructuring proposals, and settlement agreements. When litigation becomes necessary, we ensure the client’s case is filed correctly and supported with strong documentation so the court process moves efficiently.
We also assist in enforcing mortgages, pledges, charges, and security interests. This includes auction procedures, asset seizure, appointment of receivers, and enforcement through special tribunals. Our lawyers ensure all steps follow legal requirements so that lenders can recover assets without procedural errors.
Disputes between lenders and borrowers often involve interpretation of interest rates, repayment schedules, facility limits, force majeure events, and breaches of covenants. Our lawyers analyze the contract terms clearly and develop strategies for quick resolution. If a settlement is possible, we help negotiate terms that protect the lender’s position while minimizing legal costs.
For international clients, we handle cross-border recovery, repatriation of funds, and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards. This ensures foreign investors can operate confidently in Bangladesh.
