Why Business Law Matters in Nepal

Nepal’s legal framework for businesses is evolving rapidly. With laws such as the Companies Act, 2063 (2006), Industrial Enterprises Act, Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act (FITTA), and regulations under the Department of Industry, every decision—whether local or cross-border—has legal implications.

We help clients navigate this legal landscape efficiently, avoid risk, and seize opportunities for growth.
