Combining over three decades of legal experience with a client-oriented approach, Bhandari Law and Partners has been known as the preferred Top Commercial Litigation Lawyers in Nepal.
Established in 1989 and headquartered in Kathmandu, the company's seasoned litigators shine in managing high-stakes corporate conflicts—from complicated contract breaches and shareholder disputes to cross-border commercial claims—while also providing dispute avoidance through early mediation and arbitration.
Underwritten by a three-tier court system—District Courts for first-instance civil and criminal cases; High Courts for appeals; and the Supreme Court as the supreme judicial authority— Nepal's commercial litigation scene is controlled by the Civil Procedure Code, 2074 (2018). With Nepal ranked in the bottom of the Doing Business "Enforcing Contracts" indicator in earlier years (ranked 154th in 2018), reflecting long delays and procedural complexity, businesses find great difficulties enforcing contracts.
Though it requires professional navigation of both local rules and international conventions, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), especially arbitration under the Arbitration Act, 1999, provides a more efficient path.
