Litigation in Nepal

Representation and procedural advice for civil, commercial, regulatory and public-interest matters before courts and tribunals.

When legal advice may help

Have you received a claim, notice or decision?

A court filing, regulatory notice or appeal deadline can require action before the wider dispute is resolved. An early review can identify the forum, the immediate deadline and the records needed to protect your position.

  • You need to file or respond to a civil or commercial claim.
  • A regulator or tribunal has issued a notice or decision.
  • You are considering an appeal or judicial review.
  • A public-interest matter may require constitutional or administrative proceedings.

Before an initial review

What should you prepare?

  • the claim, notice, order or decision;
  • contracts, correspondence and records connected with the dispute;
  • a dated account of the relevant events; and
  • the next hearing, response or appeal deadline.

What happens after you contact the firm?

A lawyer reviews the documents and dates, confirms the available forum and response, and identifies any evidence that must be preserved. The firm then confirms the proposed scope of advice or representation.

What affects scope and fees?

The stage of the case, number of parties, document volume, hearing schedule and urgency affect the work required. The firm confirms scope and fees after reviewing the matter.

What should you keep in mind?

Missing a filing or appeal deadline may limit the available remedy. Keep original documents and avoid altering messages, notices or electronic records connected with the dispute.
