Verbal Agreements Are Risky in Nepal
While Nepal's Contract Act recognizes oral contracts, proving their terms in court is nearly impossible. Always use written contracts — especially for vendor payments, employee terms, and property leases. The cost of a properly drafted contract is a fraction of the cost of a legal dispute.Need help with this process? Chartered Corporate Business Consulting handles it all for you — from start to finish.
