We are one of the leaders in the dynamic and high-growth fields of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Joint Ventures (JV), and Funds. We possess a wealth of experience in advising international and national clients in some of the earliest and most valuable deals in Nepal. We have advised clients in structuring and documenting FDI, setting up JV documents along with advising on different corporate, IP, and tax issues arising from JVs, and in the formation, regulation, and duties of funds in Nepal (including private equity funds and mutual funds).
The experience of our advocates as fund supervisors and independent directors allows us to provide pragmatic and specialist advice. Additionally, we have a deep understanding of the FDI landscape given our role as advisers to the Department of Industry when drafting the prevalent Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act 2075 (2019 AD).
