In Nepal, advocates are licensed and regulated by the Nepal Bar Council under the Nepal Bar Council Act, 2050 (1993). This is an official, independent government body - not affiliated with or endorsed by AttorneyInTown. This page is informational only and is not legal advice.
A note on staying safe: Being licensed doesn't guarantee honest conduct - The Kathmandu Post reported (June 2016) a case where a licensed advocate was arrested after allegedly accepting large sums of money from clients by claiming he could personally influence a court's decision in their favor. This is a dated, single case, but it illustrates a recurring red flag worth naming: be cautious of anyone, licensed or not, who promises to "settle" or influence the outcome of your case in exchange for extra payment - a legitimate advocate represents your case, but cannot guarantee or buy a particular result.
