Civil and Criminal litigation covers the vast majority of legal disputes in Nepal, ranging from family inheritance to multi-million dollar corporate breaches.
Civil litigation in Nepal has been modernized through the National Civil Procedure (Code) Act, 2017. Property disputes often involve complex layers of family history, property titles, or intricate corporate contracts. In Nepal, the District Courts hold original jurisdiction over most civil matters, while High Courts and the Supreme Court handle appeals and revisions.

Approach to Civil Litigation
A Civil or Property Case Lawyer in Nepal must be a master of the Limitation. Missing a statutory deadline can result in the loss of a claim regardless of its merits.
Strategic Drafting: We craft precise plaints (Fidari-patra) and written statements that anticipate the opponent's strategy.
Interim Reliefs: Seeking injunctions and stay orders to protect our client's interests while the case is sub-judice.
Judgment Execution: Obtaining a court decree is only half the battle; we ensure that the judgment is effectively enforced and the awarded relief is fully realized.
