Juris Academy & Research Center provides expert dispute resolution services through both litigation and arbitration, delivering strategic advocacy across all tiers of Nepal’s legal system.

Litigation

Litigation remains the primary dispute resolution method in Nepal for corporate, commercial, transactional, and family matters. Despite its prevalence, the process involves complex procedures, significant time investment, and substantial costs. Commercial disputes are handled by specialized benches of the High Courts.

Our litigation team offers comprehensive representation across commercial, administrative, and constitutional matters, with proven expertise in all levels of Nepal’s judiciary.

Our Services:

• Court Documentation: Drafting powers of attorney, claims, counterclaims, responses, court briefs, pleading notes, appeals, and writ petitions
• Court Representation: Jail-bail hearings, witness examinations, cross-examinations, and all hearing stages including preliminary, interim, and interlocutory proceedings
• Appellate Advocacy: Oral submissions and appeals in higher courts
• Judgment Enforcement: Execution of court orders and judgments
• Commercial Litigation: Corporate governance disputes, shareholder rights, contract breaches, tax litigation, financial disputes, foreign investment matters, and arbitral award enforcement
• Administrative Law: Regulatory decision challenges, anti-corruption litigation, and constitutional challenges to administrative actions
• Constitutional Litigation: Civil and fundamental rights protection through writ petitions (certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, habeas corpus)

Arbitration

Arbitration has gained significant importance in Nepal, particularly for international disputes involving foreign entities. Nepal’s Arbitration Act, 1999, aligns with UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, and the country is a signatory to the New York Convention on the Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

Our arbitration team provides expert representation and advisory services for both domestic and international arbitration proceedings.

Our Services:

• Arbitration Initiation: Drafting claims and counterclaims for arbitration proceedings
• Legal Representation: Court actions challenging illegal arbitration proceedings, counterclaims, and appeals
• Award Enforcement: Legal advice on foreign arbitral award enforcement, ensuring compliance with international conventions and domestic laws
• Documentation Support: Translation and facilitation of arbitral award enforcement applications
• Legal Framework Advisory: Guidance on Nepal’s legal framework in international arbitration contexts, particularly where Nepalese law governs
• Conflict of Laws: Expert guidance on conflict of law rules and their arbitration implications

Juris Academy & Research Center combines deep legal expertise with strategic thinking to deliver effective dispute resolution solutions tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.
