A criminal allegation moves fast and leaves little room for error. Whether it is an arrest at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a summons from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations or a dawn search at company premises, the first hours shape everything that follows. We are available to respond immediately, secure bail and protect our client's position from the outset.
Our criminal practice combines classic courtroom defence with the growing field of corporate and financial crime. We defend individuals and companies through police investigation, charge, trial and appeal, and we advise boards on responding to investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Asset Recovery Agency, the Financial Reporting Centre and sector regulators. Foreign nationals facing the Kenyan criminal justice system, often far from home and without a local network, are a significant part of our client base.
Who We Act ForIndividuals facing charges, company directors and senior executives, corporates under investigation, foreign nationals and expatriates, embassies assisting their citizens, and complainants seeking redress.
