Lexora advises employers, companies and institutions on the full range of employment and labour matters that arise in Bangladesh, from day-to-day HR compliance to complex cross-border secondments of foreign staff.

Our services include the drafting of employment contracts, HR policies and service rules calibrated to each client's sector and workforce; advisory on compliance with the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 and the Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015; and representation in wrongful termination claims, disciplinary proceedings and labour disputes before the Labor Courts and the Labor Appellate Tribunal. We work closely with in-house HR teams to ensure that policies are not only legally compliant on paper but workable in day-to-day practice.

A growing part of our practice concerns the employment of foreign expatriates. We advise clients on the regulatory landscape administered by BIDA and other authorities, accelerate the process of securing E-visas and work permits, and prepare the documentation required to keep multinational employers compliant with Bangladesh's immigration laws, labour codes and related statutory obligations. This is an area where delay can be costly to a business, and our team prioritises quick, well-organised turnaround on time-sensitive filings.

We also advise on the employment-law dimensions of corporate transactions — due diligence on workforce liabilities, harmonization of terms following a merger, and structuring of severance and transition arrangements — so that labour issues are addressed as an integral part of the deal rather than an afterthought.
