Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
“Protecting client interests through commercial mediation, domestic and international arbitration, out-of-court dispute resolution, and the court enforcement of arbitral awards in Nepal.”
Overview
When commercial or contractual disputes arise, efficient and binding resolution mechanisms are essential to safeguard business continuity and financial assets. Under Nepal’s Arbitration Act 2056 (1999) and civil procedural standards, dispute resolution extends beyond conventional courtroom litigation to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) avenues. At Singh Law Company, our Dispute Resolution & Arbitration practice provides strategic counsel to individuals, corporations, and institutional investors.
We guide clients through every phase of the dispute spectrum—from early-stage negotiations and court-annexed mediation to complex domestic arbitration, international commercial arbitration proceedings, and post-award court enforcement or challenge.
