Corporate and Commercial Law:
01.
Overview of Corporate Law
Corporate law in Bangladesh governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of companies and other corporate entities. The Companies Act, 1994, regulates corporate governance, shareholder rights, and the duties of directors and officers. This legal framework aims to promote transparency, accountability, and investor confidence in corporate activities.

Company Formation and Compliance
Establishing a company in Bangladesh involves several legal procedures, including registration with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC). Companies must comply with statutory requirements such as annual filings, maintaining corporate records, and holding shareholder meetings. LegalSteps guides clients through company formation and compliance, ensuring adherence to all legal obligations.

LegalSteps advises on corporate governance practices to enhance operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
