Key Legal Highlights

Practical corporate advice from Supreme Court practitioners. Always consult legal counsel before signing founder equity schedules, RJSC filings, or commercial agreements.

While cryptocurrencies are largely restricted, blockchain as a technology is not banned in Bangladesh. ZCA LEGAL helps startups and institutions build blockchain solutions for supply chains, records, and smart contracts—without violating currency regulations. We ensure compliance with the ICT Act and guide clients in separating utility tokens or private blockchains from tradable cryptocurrencies. Legal support is essential to avoid misclassification and potential fines. Innovators should treat blockchain as a powerful tool—but work closely with legal counsel to avoid regulatory fallout.
