    TRW Law Firm – The Best Corporate Law Firm in Bangladesh

    Advocate Motassalimul Haque Mahi, a key figure at TRW Law Firm, is widely recognized for his expertise in the design, structuring, and implementation of employee share ownership schemes, executive remuneration frameworks, and incentive arrangements within corporate structures. His advisory work spans across a range of sectors including banking, telecommunications, energy, logistics, and manufacturing—supporting both private and publicly listed companies in Bangladesh.

    Mahi advises clients on all legal and regulatory aspects of employee share plans and incentive programs, including:

    • Structuring and taxation of equity-linked compensation arrangements
    • Design and legal vetting of employee stock option plans (ESOPs)
    • Incentive structuring in mergers, acquisitions, and private equity transactions
    • Trust and nominee arrangements for holding employee shares
    • Global and regional regulatory compliance, particularly for multinational clients
    • Drafting and negotiating service agreements with complex remuneration and incentive provisions

    • Data privacy and security compliance in relation to incentive plan administration
    • Advice on corporate governance and remuneration disclosures for listed companies

    With a strong background in corporate governance, Mahi provides continuous support to corporate boards and HR committees on developing performance-based executive compensation schemes aligned with shareholder value and long-term growth. His counsel is also frequently sought by private equity firms and venture-backed start-ups looking to attract and retain top-tier leadership through structured long-term incentive programs.

    In recent years, Mahi has advised on a number of high-value corporate transactions, where negotiation of management incentives, golden parachutes, and retention bonuses played a critical role in deal structuring. He brings clarity and legal precision to the negotiation table, ensuring alignment between employer objectives and executive performance metrics.

    Mahi’s cross-functional knowledge and ability to navigate Bangladesh’s legal, tax, and regulatory landscape make him a trusted advisor not only to domestic conglomerates but also to foreign investors seeking compliance in employee reward strategies.
