Domestic and International Arbitrations 

Arbitration has emerged as a preferred mechanism for resolving commercial disputes in Bangladesh, offering a faster, confidential, and commercially efficient alternative to traditional litigation. Governed by the Arbitration Act, 2001, and reinforced by Bangladesh’s recognition of international arbitral awards under the New York Convention, arbitration provides a robust legal framework for both domestic and cross-border disputes. NORTHGATE CHAMBERS delivers strategic legal representation throughout every stage of the arbitral process—from drafting and negotiating arbitration agreements to conducting arbitral proceedings and enforcing or challenging arbitral awards. Combining strong advocacy with commercial insight, our team is committed to achieving practical, cost-effective, and result-oriented outcomes while protecting our clients’ business interests.
