Advocate Astha Sharma advises Nepali businesses and international clients on the protection, prosecution, and enforcement of intellectual property in Nepal. Her work centres on trademarks, patents, and industrial designs — from clearance and filing through office actions, registration, and portfolio management.
She has more than five years of legal experience, including substantial litigation before courts and administrative authorities. That courtroom work informs how she files and defends rights: the record has to stand up, the strategy has to be commercial, and the client should always know the next step.
Day to day that means trademark searches, drafting and prosecuting applications, answering examination reports, planning enforcement, and guiding foreign counsel through the Department of Industry. She is used to acting for brand owners who need Nepal handled carefully as part of a wider regional or global portfolio.
Astha currently practises as a Managing Associate at Global Law Associates. AsthaInLaw is her personal practice home — a place for biography, writing, and direct enquiries.
