Practice area

Dispute resolution and arbitration in Nepal

Negotiation, mediation and arbitration support for commercial and regulatory disputes, including enforcement strategy.

When legal advice may help

Could negotiation, mediation or arbitration fit the dispute?

The contract, relationship between the parties and need for an enforceable result affect whether negotiation, mediation, arbitration or court proceedings fit a dispute.

  • A contract contains an arbitration or mediation clause.
  • The parties want to explore settlement before litigation.
  • An arbitration notice, claim or response must be prepared.
  • A settlement or award may require enforcement.

Before an initial review

What should you prepare?

  • the contract and its dispute-resolution clause;
  • notices, correspondence and any settlement proposal;
  • the documents supporting the claim or defence; and
  • the amount, remedy and timetable in dispute.

What happens after you contact the firm?

A lawyer checks the dispute clause, parties, evidence and limitation issues before discussing the available route. The next stage may involve negotiation, mediator selection, an arbitration filing or enforcement work.

What affects scope and fees?

Forum, claim value, number of parties, evidence, hearing requirements and enforcement needs affect scope and fees. The firm confirms both after reviewing the agreement and dispute record.

What should you keep in mind?

Starting in the wrong forum or missing a notice requirement may cause delay or jurisdictional objections. Do not assume that informal settlement discussions suspend a legal deadline.
