Bangladesh should have similar anti bribe law to make the bribe payer be penalized and that: Business should have 'adequate procedures' to prevent bribery, hospitality, publicity, insider information, and donations to charity could all be considered as bribes in certain circumstances.

Drop the Phone & Drive: Limits on Lawyer Communications with Non-Lawyers Feat...Armstrong Teasdale
When can you speak to your business partners or adversary’s officers and employees?
How can you protect your co-workers from being questioned by another company’s lawyers – or by a plaintiff’s lawyer?
You probably deal with these issues regularly, but may not remember the “rules.” This seminar will help you remember – or learn – the limits on lawyer communications with non-lawyers. Bring your cell phone to this interactive discussion where we’ll cover the anti-contact rule (Missouri Rule 4-4.2), obligations to be truthful to third parties (Rules 4-4.1 and 4-8.4), avoiding interference with informal discovery (Rule 4-3.4) and the ethical limits on threatening criminal prosecution and other adverse consequences (Rule 4-8).

Avoiding #BVI law and #Cayman Islands law pitfalls in banking & finance and corporate transactions
There are certain notorious pitfalls to avoid in the context of British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and Cayman Islands banking & finance and corporate transactions. In this article, we examine five such pitfalls. While there are no “one size fits all” solutions to these issues, we set out some practical considerations, solutions and risk mitigation tools (as appropriate) with respect to them.
Having examined the backdating of documents and asset disposals by a BVI company in the previous parts of this FAQs series, in this part III we examine the disclosure of conflicts of interest by directors. Find out more about the position set out in the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “Act”) regarding the disclosure of a director’s interests in a transaction, the consequences of non-disclosure under the Act, whether the common law rules on conflicts of interest are still relevant, what the common law duties are and what risk mitigation strategies should be considered by a third party dealing with a BVI or Cayman Islands counterparty in a transaction.

Australian homes purchased by foreign investors over the past 10 years will be randomly audited by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as part of the crackdown on foreign investment. ATO now has greater access to investor information and has commenced processing foreign investment data relating to residential real estate.
WHAT IS IR35?
The IR35 legislation specifically challenges those individuals who supply their services to clients via their own limited company, often known as a ‘personal service company’.
When trying to understand what is IR35, IR35 is the official industry name given to laws set out in the Finance Act 2000. The legislation is intended to prevent individuals from avoiding tax by ‘disguised employment’ - working as self-employed contractors through their own Limited Company even though they do the same job and operate under the same constraints as an employee.
The legislation states that any contractors that are in fact ‘disguised employees’ should be subject to the same Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) as regular employees and no be able to access the benefits and tax breaks typically available to contractors working via their own limited company.
In other words, the legislation ensures that if the relationship between the worker and the client would have been one of employment if it wasn’t for the intermediary, the worker pays tax and NICs roughly equivalent to an employee.
If HMRC decides that your contract puts you within IR35, you’ll have to pay tax and National Insurance like an employee, rather than taking your director’s fee and dividends. So it’s important to make sure you’re entitled to every penny you take from your company.
For example, an IT technician might leave their permanent job on the Friday, only to return on the following Monday as a contractor, performing exactly the same job in the same was as they did before but working via a Limited Company intermediary. This would be deemed as ‘disguised employment’ from an IR35 perspective and therefore the individual would need to be taxed as an employee.
As a contractor your IR35 status effectively determines your tax position with HMRC. Contractors working through a Limited Company, who fall outside IR35, are entitled to receive payment in the form of dividends. Those who fall inside IR35 are regarded as ‘disguised employees’ for tax purposes and are only entitled to receive payment on a PAYE basis.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
