Top 10 law firm Sadat Sarwat’s affiliation with AGA immediately expands the firm’s reach to 300 offices in over 95 countries.

The firm is an active member of the Bangladesh-Germany Chamber of Commerce and major clients include Siemens, Samsung, Bank of Singapore, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise, International Cotton Association, and Cargill.
