Comprehensive Legal Services for Societies & Non-Profits
Empowering your mission with a robust legal framework.
Setting up a society for social, cultural, educational, or charitable work is a commendable step, but it requires a solid legal foundation to succeed. At The Justice Corner, we provide full-spectrum legal advisory under the Societies Registration Act of 1860, ensuring your organization is compliant, structured for longevity, and ready to serve the community.
1. Registration & Formation
Seamless setup for local and international entities. Navigating the bureaucratic requirements for registration can be daunting. We facilitate a smooth registration process for both local founders and foreign nationals.
- Document Preparation: We prepare and submit all requisite documents, ensuring accuracy to avoid rejection.
- Drafting MOA: Our team expertly drafts the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and the rules and regulations required for submission to the registrar of societies.
- Foreign Assistance: We provide specialized support for foreign nationals wishing to establish societies in Bangladesh, handling the specific regulatory nuances involved.
2. Governing Documents & Policy Design
Building a constitution that stands the test of time. A society is only as strong as its internal rules. We help design your society's governing documents to ensure they are practical and legally sound.
- Customized Constitutions: We draft governing documents that include clear membership criteria and internal policies tailored to your specific goals.
- Legislative Adaptability: We ensure your policies are adaptable to Bangladeshi legislation, preventing legal hurdles from arising as your organization grows.

Securing your official status. Obtaining official recognition is critical for operations, funding, and credibility.
- Certificate Acquisition: After approval, we assist you with all processes aimed at acquiring the certificate of registration.
- Prima Facie Evidence: We ensure you secure this certificate, which serves as prima facie evidence of your society’s legal existence, greatly aiding in attaining your objectives and securing partnerships.
4. Annual Compliance & Regulatory Maintenance
Keeping your society in good standing. Compliance does not end at registration. We handle the ongoing legal maintenance required to keep your society operational.
- Return Filing: We manage mandatory return filings to ensure the society remains in "good standing" with regulatory bodies.
- Status Updates: Our team handles legal filings for any changes in the society's name, registered address, or operational status.
5. Dispute Resolution, Governance & Dissolution
