The significance of investment in fostering economic expansion and sustainable development is emphasized by the IDCLA. It oversees the legal frameworks governing both local and foreign investments, with an emphasis on FDI, dispute resolution, and striking a balance between investor interests and state sovereignty.
Through the attraction of money and the stimulation of invention, investment supports long-term expansion of the economy, legal stability, and innovation.
IDCLA offers specialized guidance on Investment Law, assisting businesses, investors, and financial institutions in understanding the intricacies of both domestic and international investment regulations. Our team excels in organizing, negotiating, and safeguarding investments, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards while enhancing prospects for expansion.
Investment Law provides the following services:
● Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Over the past decade, foreign direct investment (FDI) has seen a significant rise in global capital transfer, with global movements increasing threefold from 1980 to 1990, aiming to enhance corporate control over productive assets. Therefore, the “Foreign Private Investment (Promotion & Protection) Act. of 1980” serves as the foundation for Bangladesh’s foreign investment policy framework. IDCLA offers investment guidance, contract formation, due diligence, dispute resolution, and legal protection against nationalization and expropriation while promoting non-discriminatory treatment between foreign and local investments and repatriation of profits.
● Private Equity & Venture Capital
IDCLA analyzes venture capital and private equity literature in light of corporate finance changes and their uniqueness. IDCLA handles issues including competition between businesses, power of suppliers and customers, threats of new competitors and replacements, the creation of transactions, initial screening, appraisal, due diligence, approval, post-contractual monitoring, investment realization, and the departure of entrepreneurs. Venture capital company performance evidence is reviewed.
● Investment Disputes & Arbitration
IDCLA outlines mechanisms for resolving investor-state disputes, allowing foreign investors to seek compensation for losses resulting from host governments’ violations of investment obligations. IDCLA addresses investor-state disputes using global norms and protocols, ensuring the resolution process is independent of host nation standards and domestic judicial systems, which may exhibit local partiality or be influenced by governmental pressures.
● Real Estate & Infrastructure Investments
Infrastructure and real estate are crucial global assets, often intersecting. Stakeholders are exploring ways to utilize their similarities as countries expand infrastructure services and provide housing and business space, while IDCLA has focused on these streams. The firm analyzes the impact of infrastructure proximity on real estate prices in urban planning research. It also examines the proportion of real estate and infrastructure in multi-asset portfolios, returns, and inflation-hedging techniques.
IDCLA plans to focus on financialization, internationalization, value capture, business case augmentation, stakeholders, project life cycle, locations, and geographical and regional diversity.
