Guidance You Deserve
"Strong workplaces are built on clear laws, fair incentives, and decisions backed by trusted legal guidance."
A well-drafted employment contract is the foundation of a legally secure employer-employee relationship. In Bangladesh, many disputes arise due to unclear terms, missing clauses, or outdated policies that fail to comply with current labor laws. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP helps companies avoid these problems by offering end-to-end drafting, vetting, and legal structuring of employment agreements and workplace policies.
Our employment lawyers ensure your contracts cover essential points such as job responsibilities, compensation terms, termination grounds, notice periods, confidentiality clauses, non-compete rules, IP ownership, working hours, and compliance with the Bangladesh Labor Act. We tailor each agreement to your specific organization, industry, and risk landscape.
Beyond contracts, every business needs updated employment policies, such as HR manuals, workplace safety guidelines, anti-harassment rules, remote work policies, leave management systems, code of conduct, and disciplinary procedures. These are not just internal documents. They are legally enforceable frameworks that protect the company during disputes, investigations, or regulatory audits.
Our law firm works with your HR and management teams to design practical policies that align with your work culture while staying compliant. For startups and growing companies, we create simple and scalable HR frameworks that prevent future conflicts. For large corporations and multinationals, we align policies with global standards and local regulations simultaneously.
We also help foreign employers hiring talent in Bangladesh through remote employment, secondment arrangements, or local contracts. Our team ensures that cross-border employment terms remain legally enforceable and tax-compliant.
With clear documentation, businesses reduce operational risks, improve employee satisfaction, and strengthen the professionalism of the workplace. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP ensures every contract and policy protects your best interests and is robust enough to withstand legal scrutiny.
Termination is one of the most sensitive legal areas in Bangladesh employment law. Employers must follow strict procedures, including written notices, due process, evidence documentation, severance calculations, domestic inquiries, and compliance with labor regulations. Any mistake can result in legal claims, penalties, or reputational damage.
Our employment lawyers guide companies through the entire termination lifecycle. Whether you are dealing with poor performance, redundancy, restructuring, misconduct, policy violations, or fraud, we advise you on each required step to ensure the process is fair, lawful, and defensible.
For misconduct cases, we assist with domestic inquiries, evidence management, witness interviews, and drafting show-cause notices. We help HR teams avoid errors that could weaken the employer’s position in court or arbitration.
We also support employees and executives who believe they were terminated unfairly. Our law firm evaluates your case, checks whether due process was followed, and advises on legal remedies, including reinstatement, compensation, or settlement.
In workforce restructuring, we help companies lawfully reduce manpower, modify roles, and negotiate separation agreements with employees, ensuring the business remains protected from future claims.
Termination is never easy, but with the right legal guidance, the process becomes safer and smoother for everyone involved.
Executives, founders, senior managers, and high-level professionals often require specialized compensation packages. These include bonuses, commissions, performance-based incentives, stock options, ESOP plans, profit-sharing, and long-term reward structures.
In Bangladesh, incentive design must comply with labor laws, corporate governance rules, tax regulations, and sector-specific requirements. Many companies unintentionally create incentive schemes that later cause disputes or tax complications.
Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP provides precise advisory support for designing, negotiating, and implementing executive compensation structures. We help both employers and executives create fair, transparent, and compliant incentive plans.
Our services include compensation benchmarking, ESOP structuring, KPI-based incentive frameworks, deferred compensation plans, retention bonuses, and legally sound offer letters. For multinationals operating in Bangladesh, we align incentive structures with global policies while adapting them to local compliance needs.
We also assist executives in reviewing employment contracts, negotiating compensation terms, and ensuring that all incentive promises are legally enforceable.
When compensation disputes arise, our employment lawyers represent clients in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
A well-designed incentive structure motivates executives, protects employers, and prevents future legal conflicts. Our law firm brings both local and international expertise to deliver premium solutions.
