Infrastructure, energy, housing and public services in Kenya are increasingly delivered through partnerships between government and private capital. These projects sit at the intersection of public procurement law, commercial contracting, financing and regulation, and they succeed or fail on how well those pieces fit together.

We advise private sponsors, contractors, lenders and public bodies across the project life cycle. Our team's background in public-sector legal advisory and legislative reform gives us an unusually clear understanding of how government counterparties think, how approvals move and where projects typically stall.

Who We Act For

Project sponsors and developers (including international contractors and Asian infrastructure investors), development finance institutions and commercial lenders, county governments and state corporations.
