Civil & Criminal Litigation
Our advocates represent individuals and businesses in civil suits, criminal cases, appeals and revisions before the courts of Bangladesh, including the High Court Division and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.
Careful preparation, confident advocacy
Litigation outcomes depend on early strategy, sound evidence and attention to procedure and limitation. We assess the strengths and risks of each case honestly and advise on whether to litigate, settle or pursue alternative dispute resolution.
In civil matters we act in money, property, partition, declaration, injunction and contract suits. In criminal matters we handle bail, defence at trial, private complaints, appeals, revisions and quashment proceedings.
