Rahman’s Chambers, Barristers & Advocates, is proud to announce that our Head of Chambers, Mr. Mohammed Forrukh Rahman, has recently authored a comprehensive analytical article titled “Japan-Bangladesh EPA: A strategic blueprint for trade and investment promotion,” published in The Financial Express.

This insightful piece delves into the historic execution of the Japan-Bangladesh Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) on February 6, 2026. Going beyond standard economic discourse, Mr. Rahman provides a critical legal practitioner’s perspective on how this binding regulatory architecture redefines private commercial rights and state mandates. The article meticulously outlines the EPA’s modernized investment regime, the introduction of robust Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms, shifting digital frontier regulations, and the establishment of strict ESG compliance baselines.

Mr. Rahman’s piece serves as an essential guide for multinational and local enterprises, emphasizing the immediate need for corporate alignment—from auditing supply chains for Rules of Origin compliance to restructuring joint ventures. By understanding these specific legal mechanics, businesses can confidently secure a legally fortified and highly predictable operational footprint in the region.
