When is arbitration appropriate for a dispute?

Arbitration may be appropriate where the parties have agreed to resolve their dispute through arbitration or where applicable law otherwise permits it. We assess the agreement, nature of the dispute and available remedies before advising on the appropriate course of action.

Can an arbitration clause be challenged?

In appropriate circumstances, issues concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of an arbitration agreement or clause may be raised before the relevant forum. The appropriate approach depends on the agreement, applicable law and circumstances of the dispute.

Can I obtain interim relief during arbitration?

Yes, where the applicable legal framework permits, parties may seek interim or protective measures from an arbitral tribunal and/or the competent court, depending on the circumstances and stage of the proceedings.

Can an arbitral award be challenged?

An arbitral award may be subject to limited statutory remedies in appropriate circumstances. We advise clients on the available grounds and procedural requirements applicable to the particular award.

Can a foreign arbitral award be enforced in Bangladesh?

Foreign arbitral awards may be capable of recognition and enforcement in Bangladesh subject to the applicable legal framework and relevant procedural requirements. We advise on the requirements and strategy for enforcement.

How are legal fees discussed?

Fees are discussed transparently after assessing the nature, complexity, value and scope of the arbitration. The proposed fee structure and professional engagement terms are communicated before commencement of the engagement.
