You can contact us via email, phone, or our website contact form. We offer initial consultations (which may be charged or free depending on the matter—please inquire). Our team will assess your needs, provide preliminary advice, and outline next steps. We serve clients across Kenya and handle matters requiring local presence or expertise in Nairobi and other regions.

 We advise a diverse range of clients, including local and international corporations, startups, financial institutions, government entities, high-net-worth individuals, families, investors in energy and capital markets sectors, and SMEs. Our approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses, individuals, and institutions operating under Kenyan law.

Our Litigation & Dispute Resolution team excels in court proceedings across Kenyan courts, while we also specialize in arbitration (both domestic and international) and other ADR methods like mediation and negotiation. We prioritize efficient, cost-effective resolutions but are fully prepared to litigate when necessary to protect your interests.

 In Corporate & Commercial Law and Mergers & Acquisitions, we guide clients on company formation, shareholder agreements, joint ventures, due diligence, transaction structuring, and regulatory compliance (including with the Companies Act, Competition Authority of Kenya, and Capital Markets Authority). We ensure seamless deals while minimizing risks.

 Our Property & Conveyancing practice handles land searches, due diligence, drafting and registration of transfers, leases, charges, and sub-divisions, as well as resolving land disputes. We advise on freehold/leasehold titles, urban development, and compliance with Kenyan land laws, including the Land Act and Land Registration Act.

Our Family Law & Estate Planning team handles divorce, child custody, maintenance, matrimonial property division, prenuptial agreements, wills, trusts, succession, and probate under the Marriage Act, Matrimonial Property Act, and Law of Succession Act.

 Fees depend on the matter’s complexity, value, and type (e.g., fixed fees for straightforward transactions like conveyancing or company registration; hourly rates or retainers for ongoing advisory/litigation; success-based elements in some cases). We provide clear fee estimates upfront after assessing your case, in line with the Advocates (Remuneration) Order and client agreements. Transparency is key—we discuss costs openly.

 We combine deep sector-specific expertise (especially in banking/finance, energy, capital markets, and commercial transactions) with a client-focused, practical approach. As a dynamic Kenyan LLP, we deliver timely, innovative solutions grounded in current Kenyan law and regulations. Our team stays updated on legal developments, prioritizes clear communication, and builds long-term partnerships for sustainable results.
