Asia Business Law Journal (ABLJ) on July 10 published its “A-List of the top 50 lawyers practicing in Bangladesh.”
According to the Journal, the A-List is based on extensive research conducted and nominations received from in-house counsel based in Bangladesh and elsewhere, as well as partners at international law firms.
With Bangladesh’s economy highly dependent on the garment industry, Bangladeshi law firms are expected to play an important role in helping the country diversify its exports and markets, reported the Asian Business Law Journal’s Byung Jin Park and Miran Lim.
In particular, signing free-trade agreements with various countries to enhance the stability of trade in goods and improve access to international markets is emerging as a key agenda for Bangladesh’s economic growth. This is partly because Bangladesh will lose its trade preferences once it graduates from least developed country status.
Bangladesh has a complex legal system that combines elements of colonial British law, local peculiarities, and Islamic jurisprudence.
As a result, comments from clients to ABLJ show a clear preference for lawyers who are versatile and well-rounded, and able to navigate this complex legal market when advising clients.
Based on the comments received by ABLJ, lawyers who remain faithful to the basics – actively listening to clients and taking all feedback into account – are the most preferred.
Veteran lawyers in the list included Barristers Kamal Hossain and Sara Hossain of Dr Kamal Hossain & Associates, Shahdin Malik of Ergo Legal Counsel, M Amir-ul Islam of Amir & Amir Law Associates, Akhtar Imam of Akhtar Imam & Associates, Nihad Kabir of Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed & Associates, Hamidul Misbah of Old Bailey Chambers, Tanjib-ul-Alam of Tanjib Alam Associates, Omar H Khan, Saqeb Mahbub of Mahbub & Company, and others.
