Best Lawyers in Kathmandu: Family Law, Criminal Law and Civil Litigation

Kaligandaki Law Firm is a small practice by design. You deal with the attorney handling your matter rather than being passed down a chain, and the person you meet at the first consultation is the person who appears for you.

• Senior Advocate Bhumishwor Sharma Gautam founded the firm in 1997 and leads family law — divorce, custody, inheritance and partition — alongside criminal and civil litigation work.
• Adv. Niranjan Lal Rajbhandari leads criminal defence, from FIR and bail stage through trial and appeal, and also acts in civil litigation.
• Adv. Shiva Prasad Kandel leads corporate and business law, company registration and intellectual property.
• Ananda Gautam advises on cyber law, cybercrime and data protection as the firm’s cyber policy consultant.

Most people arrive knowing the problem but not the category it falls into, and the categories overlap more than they appear to. A social media post can be a defamation matter, a criminal complaint under the Electronic Transactions Act, or both. A divorce frequently brings a property partition with it. Money lost to an online scam is a police matter and a recovery matter at the same time.

You do not need to work out which one it is before you call. Describe what happened and we will tell you which part of the practice it belongs to, whether there is a limitation period running, and what the realistic outcome looks like. That conversation is free.
