Meet your Nepal lawyer: Gita Acharya

Gita Acharya holds a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Purbanchal University and is registered with the Nepal Bar Council (registration no. 9058). She is also a mediation trainer. Her practice is grounded in understanding the facts, reviewing the documents and explaining the legal options in language clients can use.

Consultations are available in Nepali, English and Hindi. Gitanjali Law Firm’s office is at Mustang Chowk, Pokhara-7, and its regular court practice is in Kaski and Gandaki Province. Clients elsewhere in Nepal and Nepalis living abroad may start remotely; the appropriate jurisdiction and any representation arrangements are discussed before an engagement.

Legal outcomes depend on the facts and applicable law. An initial conversation helps identify what information is needed and which court or public office is responsible for the matter.

Nepal does not have one court that hears every dispute. Divorce, partition, recovery and criminal trials normally begin in the district court with territorial jurisdiction. Land registration goes through the relevant Land Revenue Office. Appeals follow the appropriate High Court jurisdiction, while final and constitutional matters may reach the Supreme Court in Kathmandu.

That is why a responsible Nepal lawyer first asks where the parties, property and events are located. Gitanjali Law Firm’s primary court practice is in Kaski and Gandaki Province. Where a matter belongs elsewhere, the first consultation identifies that clearly instead of implying a branch office that does not exist.
