Bribery and Anti-Bribery Law in Bangladesh

Corruption and bribery exposure can threaten a company's licence to operate as well as its reputation. FM Consulting International has advised corporations on bribery, corruption and corporate criminal law for many years, combining preventative compliance work with assured representation before the courts and the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Prevention and compliance

We provide legal opinions on anti-corruption and anti-bribery issues and help organisations build robust compliance systems. Our work includes anti-corruption due diligence, compliance audits and risk assessments, together with the review of internal investigations.

The goal is to surface and address exposure before it becomes the subject of an enforcement action.

Investigation and litigation

Where matters escalate, we investigate issues involving money laundering, economic corruption, asset-tracing, tax fraud and insider trading, and we represent clients before the courts, tribunals and the Anti-Corruption Commission, including litigation in the High Court Division.

Our advice is grounded in the governing legislation, including the Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2004, the Anti-Corruption Commission Rules 2007, the Anti-Corruption Guideline 2011 and the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 with its 2019 Rules. We also publish research on Bangladesh's anti-corruption regime.
