Disputes cost money, time and management attention. Our first question is always what outcome serves the client's business, and our second is the fastest defensible route to it. Sometimes that is a firmly worded letter; sometimes it is an injunction obtained the same day; sometimes it is a negotiated settlement that preserves a commercial relationship.

We appear regularly before the Magistrates' Courts, the High Court of Kenya (including its Commercial, Civil, Constitutional and Employment divisions), the Court of Appeal and specialist tribunals. Our Managing Partner is an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and the firm advises on arbitration seated in Kenya and abroad as well as mediation under the court-annexed and private schemes.

Who We Act For

Companies and directors, lenders and borrowers, landlords and tenants, investors in joint ventures, and foreign parties who need effective representation in Kenyan proceedings.
