Civil Law and litigation

We navigate civil matters and deliver seamless legal solutions for our clients. Legal Access Nepal offers comprehensive legal services in Nepal, specializing in civil law, family law, and real estate law. Nepal’s legal system has seen major reforms, especially in civil law. The long-standing Muluki Ain (Country Code) of 1963, which governed civil issues for over five decades, was replaced by the Muluki Civil Code, 2018. This comprehensive law now regulates a broad spectrum of civil disputes.

At Legal Access Nepal, we offer a full range of legal services under civil law, including family issues, real estate matters, contract disputes, and private international law. Most civil cases fall under the jurisdiction of the district courts, which act as the primary courts of hearing. Our expertise in civil litigation includes:

  • Contract disputes: including validity, enforcement, breach, and claims for damages
  • Enforcement of civil rights through applications and writs at all court levels
  • Tort claims, damages, and legal matters involving equity and trust
  • Disputes over general transactions
  • Conflict of law issues, including recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
  • Guardianship matters
  • Legal issues related to eminent domain
