Bangladesh currently does not have a comprehensive data protection law similar to GDPR. However, provisions within the Digital Security Act 2018, Information and Communication Technology Act 2006, and sector-specific regulations from entities like Bangladesh Bank and BTRC govern aspects of data collection, storage, and processing. Companies must navigate these fragmented regulations, ensure clear consent mechanisms, implement robust data security measures, and prepare for the upcoming Data Protection Act. We help businesses assess their data handling practices against existing and proposed frameworks to mitigate compliance risks and build user trust, which is crucial for any Technology & Digital enterprise operating in Bangladesh.

Fintech startups in Bangladesh operate under a complex regulatory environment, primarily governed by Bangladesh Bank and other financial regulators. Key considerations include licensing requirements for payment service providers (PSPs), mobile financial services (MFS), and other innovative financial products. We advise on compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and combating financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations, cybersecurity standards, consumer protection, and data privacy. Our support extends to structuring investment, drafting shareholder agreements, and navigating regulatory sandboxes, ensuring fintech solutions are legally sound and scalable within the Bangladeshi financial ecosystem.

For Technology & Digital companies, intellectual property (IP) is often their most valuable asset. Meheruba assists with the registration and enforcement of trademarks (for brand names and logos), copyrights (for software code, website content, and digital media), and patents (for innovative technological inventions) in Bangladesh. We draft robust IP assignment agreements with employees and contractors, secure software licensing agreements, and advise on trade secret protection. Our firm also handles IP infringement disputes, helping tech companies safeguard their innovations and competitive edge in the Bangladeshi market.
