Our Criminal Law Services

White-Collar Crimes

White-collar crimes include financial and corporate offenses such as fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and insider trading. These crimes often involve extensive documentation and financial records, making them highly complex. Our legal team specializes in handling intricate financial crimes by analyzing records, identifying discrepancies, and building a strong defense. We also assist clients in regulatory compliance to avoid potential liabilities.

We provide services including:

• Legal representation for businesses and individuals accused of financial crimes.

Our expertise ensures that clients receive fair representation and that their rights are protected throughout the legal process.

Cyber Crimes

Cybercrime is a growing concern in Bangladesh and globally. Cases of hacking, identity theft, phishing, online fraud, and digital harassment are increasing rapidly. With the implementation of the Digital Security Act, 2018, strict measures are in place to combat cyber offenses. Our team provides legal guidance on cyber law, data protection, and representation in cybercrime litigation. We work closely with cybersecurity experts to ensure the best defense for our clients.

Drug-related offenses, such as possession, trafficking, and smuggling, are punishable under the Narcotics Control Act, 2018.

The Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012, and the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, govern these offenses. Our experienced attorneys assist in defending clients facing financial crime allegations by ensuring due process and challenging weak or malicious prosecution claims.

Our financial crime services cover:
