Real Estate & Environmental Legal Services in Bangladesh
Urban Planning & RAJUK/Municipal Compliance
Dhaka’s real estate market is governed by a complex web of building codes and municipal bylaws. We bridge the gap between your construction goals and regulatory compliance.
- Plan Approval & Permits: Navigating the bureaucracy of RAJUK (Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha) and City Corporations. We assist in securing Land Use Clearances (LUC), layout approvals, and construction permits without bureaucratic deadlock.
- Defense Against Demolition: Immediate legal intervention when RAJUK or the City Corporation issues notice for "Illegal Deviation" or "Setback Violations."
- Strategic Writ Petitions: Filing in the High Court to stay demolition drives, giving you time to regularize the construction or appeal to the Ministry.
- Occupancy Certificates: Resolving disputes regarding the issuance of Occupancy Certificates, ensuring utility connections (Gas/Electricity) are not severed due to compliance technicalities.
- Holding Tax & Trade License: Disputes regarding excessive Holding Tax assessments by the City Corporation and zoning issues for commercial trade licenses.
Industrial Land Acquisition & Economic Zones
Securing the ground for Bangladesh’s industrial growth. We handle large-scale land aggregation for factories, power plants, and foreign investors.
- Aggregating Agricultural Land: The legal mechanics of buying large tracts of land from multiple smallholders. We manage the complex "baya" deeds to ensure the total project land is contiguous and free from "Khas" (government) land pockets.
- Land Class Conversion: Legal facilitation at the DC Office (Deputy Commissioner) to convert land classification from 'Agricultural' (Nul/Chala) to 'Industrial' (Karkhana/Bhiti), a mandatory step for environmental clearance.
- BEZA & EPZ Leasing: Advising foreign and local investors on 50-year lease agreements within Bangladesh Economic Zones (BEZA) and EPZs. We review the Land Lease Agreements (LLA) to ensure favorable terms regarding exit clauses and rent escalation.
- Foreshore & Environmental Disputes: For riverside industries (shipyards/cement), we handle disputes regarding river boundary demarcation and Department of Environment (DoE) clearances.
We cross-reference CS, SA, and RS maps to ensure the land you see is the land you buy.
