Labour and employment is a core practice at Elahi & Associates. Led by Syed Fazla Elahi Obhi, our team advises multinationals, listed companies and local businesses on day-to-day HR issues and complex disputes, and works with HR to stay compliant with the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 and related rules.
What we do
- Employment documents: Drafting and review of appointment letters, contracts and related HR terms.
- Workplace compliance & safety: Practical guidance for offices and factories to align policies and practices with applicable laws and rules.
- Labour litigation: Filing and defending cases before the Labour Court and Labour Appellate Tribunal under the Labour Act, on behalf of both employers and workers.
- Civil remedies (outside the Labour Act): Suits for unfair dismissal, recovery of unpaid salaries/benefits, and compensation for work-related injury or death where the Labour Act does not apply.
- Constitutional oversight: Writ petitions before the High Court Division against ad-interim orders of the Labour Court or decisions of the Labour Appellate Tribunal.
We are committed to protecting the rights of workers and employers with pragmatic, results-oriented legal solutions.
