How to find the best company lawyer in Dhaka

Look for corporate depth

Many barristers, advocates and law firms in Dhaka offer company services. The best fit has hands-on knowledge of company formation, drafting, compliance and litigation, and applies it in a way that suits your business.

Ask about the full lifecycle

A company's legal life starts at formation and continues through contracts, filings, governance and, sometimes, disputes. Your lawyer should be comfortable at every one of those stages.

Established in the early 2000s, Counsels Law Partners has grown into a trusted full-service law firm in Bangladesh. With more than 20 talented lawyers under the guidance of Barrister Md. Hafizur Rahaman Khan, we advise clients across industries, in corporate, commercial, arbitration and cross-border legal matters, with professionalism, integrity and dedication.

Our chambers in Gulshan, Kakrail, the Judge Court and the High Court mean clients get responsive, personalised attention wherever their matter sits.

The company formation roadmap in Bangladesh

The order of steps matters. A lawyer who knows the sequence helps you avoid rework and delays.

  1. Name clearance

    Obtain the Name Clearance Certificate for your proposed company name.

  2. Draft MoA and AoA

    Prepare the Memorandum and Articles of Association with care to avoid future disputes.

  3. Register with RJSC

    Submit the required documents to the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies.

  4. Certificate of incorporation

    Receive the certificate once registration is complete. Your company now exists in law.

  5. TIN and trade licence

    Apply for the Tax Identification Number, then obtain the trade licence to operate.

Correcting an error? If the Memorandum of Association contains a mistake, the amendment application must be filed at the High Court. We handle these applications end to end.
