Tanjib-ul Alam

Tanjib Alam and Associates is a leading Bangladeshi corporate law firm, founded by Tanjib-ul Alam, who is widely regarded as one of the country's foremost lawyers in mergers and acquisitions. The firm has been named M&A Law Firm of the Year in Bangladesh at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, recognising a practice that has advised on some of the most significant corporate transactions in the nation's history.

Tanjib-ul Alam established the firm in 2009, building it around a full-service commercial and corporate offering that works across the areas most relevant to businesses and investors operating in Bangladesh. He has practised before the Supreme Court of Bangladesh since 1999 and was called to the Bar of England and Wales as a member of Lincoln's Inn, a dual grounding in common-law practice that informs the firm's cross-border capability. His expertise spans banking, syndication, project finance, securitisation, telecommunications, the listing of public companies, and advising foreign investors on the regulatory framework governing their entry into the market.

The firm's standing in mergers and acquisitions is exemplified by its role on landmark deals. It acted as legal adviser and counsel to Robi Axiata Limited on its acquisition of Airtel Bangladesh, the largest merger in the country's history, carrying out legal due diligence, preparing the transaction documentation and obtaining High Court approval of the scheme. Work of this scale demonstrates the firm's ability to manage complex, multi-strand transactions that combine corporate, regulatory and court processes, and to see them through to completion in a demanding regulatory environment. Mergers and acquisitions in an emerging market such as Bangladesh demand more than transactional technique, calling for advisers who understand the local regulatory approvals, sector-specific licensing regimes and court processes that a deal must clear, as well as the expectations of the foreign investors and multinational counterparties who are often on the other side of the table.

Tanjib-ul Alam's influence extends beyond private practice into the shaping of the law itself. He has been involved in drafting significant national legislation, including statutes governing telecommunications, energy regulation and information and communication technology. This contribution to the legislative framework gives the firm an unusually deep understanding of the regulatory landscape in which its transactional work takes place, a valuable advantage for clients navigating sectors where law and commerce are closely intertwined. His M&A expertise has also been recognised internationally through inclusion in respected legal directory listings.

Serving domestic corporations, multinationals and foreign investors, Tanjib Alam and Associates combines transactional depth with regulatory insight across banking, telecommunications, energy and the capital markets. For clients contemplating acquisitions, disposals or investment in Bangladesh, the firm offers the reassurance of a founder-led practice with both a distinguished court record and hands-on experience of the country's largest deals. Recognition as M&A Law Firm of the Year in Bangladesh at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms the reputation that Tanjib-ul Alam has established as a trusted adviser on the transactions that shape the Bangladeshi corporate landscape.
