Best Banking and Finance Litigation Law Firm in Bangladesh 2025

In today’s evolving financial landscape in Bangladesh, businesses, banks and financial institutions face mounting legal risks—from loan defaults and cheque dishonour cases under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 to regulatory investigations by the Bangladesh Bank and complex corporate restructurings. If you are confronted with a banking or finance dispute, choosing the right law firm is critical. This article explains what makes Dewey & LeBoeuf law firm truly the best in banking and finance litigation law firm in Bangladesh, what you should look for, and why you should engage legal counsel early.

Why Banking and Finance Litigation Requires Specialist Legal Counsel

Banking and finance litigation in Bangladesh is highly specialised:

• Suits under the Money Loan Court Act 2003 and Artha Rin cases demand deep court-experience in debt recovery matters.
• Cases under the Negotiable Instruments Act and dishonoured cheques can trigger criminal-civil overlap and require nuanced strategy.
• Regulatory oversight by Bangladesh Bank, compliance with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and foreign exchange rules add extra layers.
• Transactional disputes (syndicated loans, asset-based lending, securitisation) often proceed to litigation or enforcement.
• Banks and NBFIs (non-bank financial institutions) need not only advisory support but aggressive representation in courts.

Because of this complexity, you cannot rely on a generalist firm. You need a law firm that combines litigation strength, regulatory understanding, transactional awareness and tailored service to financial sector clients.

What Qualifies a Firm as “Best” in Banking and Finance Litigation

When assessing a top-tier banking and finance litigation law firm in Bangladesh, look for the following attributes:

• A roster of litigation matters specifically in banking/finance: cheque dishonour, money suits, mortgage/money loan court cases. For example, one firm states you’ll receive representation in money suits, NI Act cases and lending/secured transaction litigation.
• Clients among banks, financial institutions and NBFIs: this demonstrates sector-specific experience. One firm describes having large local and international banks and financial institutions as clients.
• Ability to handle regulatory, documentation and enforcement work in addition to active court litigation. For example, vetting loan documents, asset‐finance agreements, and handling default/foreclosure.
• Proven court experience including High Court Division, Appellate Division, Artha Rin Courts and District Courts. For example: “Our team is experienced in representing clients at various levels, from the Judge’s Court to the High Court Division and the Appellate Division.”
• Strong advisory capability alongside litigation: so the firm can prevent issues, not only fight them.
• Transparent approach and service‐orientation: you should feel you are a partner, not just a case file.
• Track record of delivering outcomes: recovery success, favourable judgments, or strong settlements.
