Why Clients Trust This Firm
Rare training, and an advocate who answers his own phone.
13 years in practice
More than a decade advising and representing clients before the courts in Dhaka, across both specialist and everyday legal matters.
You deal with the advocate himself
From your first call to your final hearing, you work directly with Advocate Zakaria, not a junior handed your file.
“I was a first-time claimant in a marine cargo dispute and had no idea where to start. Advocate Zakaria explained the process in plain language, kept me updated at every stage, and handled the case with real command of maritime law. I felt like I was in capable hands from the first meeting.”
Specialist Positioning
Two fields most lawyers refer out, handled in-house.
Cargo disputes, marine insurance claims, admiralty matters, aircraft leasing, aviation compliance: these are areas most firms send elsewhere. Here, they’re a core practice. And if your matter is more everyday, that same rigor goes into your family, property, or business case.
What We Handle
Practice Areas
Specialist Practice
Maritime Law
You recover what you’re owed in a shipping, cargo, or marine insurance dispute, from an advocate who trained in maritime law, not one learning it on your case.
Aviation & Space Law
You get aircraft leasing and aviation compliance handled by one of the few advocates in Bangladesh formally trained in the field.
International Trade Law
You move goods across borders and close cross-border deals without your shipment or contract getting stuck in a legal gray area.
General Practice
Family Law
You get your divorce, custody, or inheritance matter resolved with your family’s future protected, not just paperwork filed.
Property & Real Estate Law
You get full legal certainty over land or property you own, buy, or inherit, free of hidden claims that could surface later.
Civil Litigation
You get someone standing in court representing your side of a contract, tort, or personal dispute, so the outcome isn’t decided by whoever showed up better prepared.
Corporate & Business Law
You get your business formed, contracted, or governed on legal footing that holds up if a partner, employee, or regulator ever challenges it.
Taxation & Revenue Law
You meet your income tax, VAT, and customs obligations without overpaying or getting hit with a penalty you didn’t see coming.

Before You Call
Questions clients ask first
Fee structures vary by case type and complexity, so the honest answer is “it depends,” which is exactly why the first consultation is free. You’ll leave that conversation knowing the likely scope and cost before you commit to anything.
The maritime and aviation background is where the rarest expertise sits, but family, property, and civil matters get the same direct attention. You’re not paying a specialist premium for a general case. You get the same advocate either way.
You work directly with Advocate Zakaria himself, not a rotating team of juniors. The tradeoff of a smaller practice is fewer cases running at once, not less attention on yours.
Your information is protected from the very first conversation. Attorney-client confidentiality applies before any engagement or payment, not after.
Court timelines aren’t something any advocate can control, but how informed you stay during that time is. Expect a direct update after each hearing or filing, not silence between them.
Not sure where to start? That’s exactly what the first call is for.
Bring your situation, your questions, and any documents you have. You’ll leave knowing your options and what they’ll cost, with no obligation to go further.
Free, confidential, and no pressure to proceed.
