We address the interpretation and implementation of the Nepalese Constitution and federalism, the three branches (the Executive, Legislature, Judiciary) of the government, the rights of the individual in relation to the state, state and legal structures, the legislative and financial procedures, and other jus commune, or law of the land, that may consist of a variety of imperative and consensual rules. These may include customary law, conventions, statutory law, judge made law or international rules and norms. The Supreme Court plays a crucial role in interpreting the Constitution. Consequently, we also focus on Supreme Court rulings. In contemporary Nepal, a 'constituent assembly' will soon draft and adopt a new constitution. Nepal Consulting Lawyers Inc is also involved in this process as an expert.

The firm has expertise in handling issues like protection against public (government) and/or private sector discrimination, due process and equal protection requirements, protection against private actors or entities. Areas of experience cover freedoms that protect the individual from government including freedom of association, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech, and additionally, the right to due process, to fair trial, to own property and to privacy.

We also have substantial experience in parliamentary process. We have provided expertise to bill review programmes, procedures relating to the conduct of business by parliamentary committees, procedures for introducing a Bill, procedures for passage of bills, withdrawal process, assent procedures, ordinances, exercise of taxing powers, procedures as to disbursement of revenues, expenditure from consolidated funds or government funds, rules as to estimates of revenues and expenditure, appropriation process, supplementary estimates, votes on account, votes on credit, contingency fund process, and legal drafting.

The firm has expertise on justice sector reform projects - enhancing capacity of justice sector institutions to deliver services efficiently and effectively; strengthening linkages between justice institutions; improved access to justice, especially for the poor and vulnerable; enhancing citizens' trust in a justice system which respects their rights, upholds their responsibilities and meets their needs.

We help develop legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as policy and institutional environments, which foster economic activity and sustainable development. We assist our clients on law and policy reform operations and knowledge products, as well as various tools and strategies to help them manage challenges on the legal front.

Legal consultation on issues relating to creating and sustaining legal environments conducive to economic growth and equitable social development - particularly in the context of privatization, deregulation and mobilization of private sector resources for investment in infrastructure in developing capital and securities markets, and the broader concerns including environment, consumer protection and women in development issues. We have a good experience in energy and infrastructure law, and have also advised our clients on compliance issues including under procurement laws. Furthermore, in an era of increasingly limited resources available from donor countries, we can help our client departments focus on administrative reforms to promote more efficient and effective use of public funds.

Our legal research offering will allow you to request reference materials from databases on history of prior court cases. We can meet your required research needs whether they are from primary or secondary databases. For example, we can assist you to monitor legislative and judicial decisions that directly impact your business.

The firm is experienced in evaluating projects in our areas of work to help ensure effective decision-making, organizational learning, accountability and impact. We are handy in conducting systematic and objective assessment of ongoing or completed projects, and determine the relevance and level of achievement of project objectives, development effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability. We also help feed lessons learned into the decision-making process of the project stakeholders, including donors and national partners. 

You can also have a legal document created to suit your specific requirement. If you would like us to review a document, or to polish up changes you have made, we shall be happy to do so. Many document customers use this service.

As the provider of legal support services, we pride ourselves on our ability to listen to our clients and respond to their ever changing service needs. As such, we will continue to augment our current line of service offerings and provide the same levels of quality, responsiveness, customer service and support.
