Arbitration Related Litigation
Arbitration is designed to be a private and autonomous process, but it frequently needs the support of national courts to be effective. Our firm handles arbitration-related litigation, providing the court support that safeguards the integrity of the arbitral process, or challenging it where that is the right course for the client.
Because we practise both complex litigation and domestic and international arbitration, we can represent clients seamlessly at the point where courts and tribunals interact, in Nepal and across international jurisdictions.
Our Services
- Pre-arbitration and interim relief: obtaining provisional measures from national courts to preserve assets, secure evidence and prevent dissipation, and challenging the jurisdiction or scope of an arbitration agreement where appropriate.
- Challenging arbitral awards: identifying grounds for setting aside under the Nepalese Arbitration Act and international standards, and representing clients in superior courts to annul or modify flawed awards.
- Enforcement of arbitral awards: recognition and execution of domestic awards, enforcement of foreign awards under the New York Convention, and enforcement actions abroad in collaboration with our network of international counsel.
- Jurisdictional disputes and appeals: court proceedings on the validity, scope and interpretation of arbitration agreements, including appeals and judicial review where the framework permits.
