Our Tax, Competition, and Regulatory practice delivers proactive counsel to clients navigating Kenya’s complex fiscal, antitrust, and sector-specific regulatory frameworks. We provide guidance on domestic and cross-border tax structuring, VAT, income tax, customs, excise duties, and related levies. We represent clients before the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT), and appellate courts across assessments, audits, objections, and appeals.
Leveraging Kenya’s vibrant property market, we deliver end-to-end services including title due diligence, land transfers, leases, mortgages, development agreements, and registration with the Ministry of Lands. We advise on large-scale commercial and residential projects, land acquisition for infrastructure, and property dispute resolution.
We offer compassionate yet resolute representation in personal matters, including matrimonial disputes, child custody, division of matrimonial property, wills, trusts, estate administration under the Law of Succession Act, and probate. We also handle select high-profile criminal defense matters with a focus on human rights, constitutional protections, and international criminal law dimensions.
Our transactional practice covers company formation, corporate governance, shareholders’ agreements, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and corporate restructuring. We handle due diligence, contract drafting and review, procurement contracts, business sales, and general corporate advisory with strategic precision.
In an increasingly innovation-driven economy, we protect and monetize IP assets through registration (trademarks, patents, and copyrights via KIPI), licensing agreements, infringement enforcement, IP audits, and integration into corporate transactions. Our services support clients in technology, pharmaceuticals, creative industries, and beyond.
Our Employment and Labour practice is a highly active and specialized area of expertise. We maintain a strong track record of representation before the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC), handling a wide range of matters including unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and constitutional rights violations in employment contexts.
The firm offers advisory and transactional support in banking and finance matters, including loan documentation, securitization, compliance with Central Bank of Kenya regulations, and structuring of financial transactions. We advise lenders and borrowers on the structuring, negotiation, and documentation of credit facilities; enforcement and debt recovery proceedings; and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
We advise on ambitious infrastructure initiatives including public-private partnerships (PPPs), energy projects regulated by EPRA, procurement and tender processes, Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts, and project finance. Our team manages the full project lifecycle — from regulatory approvals and Environmental Impact Assessments to risk allocation and contract negotiation.
A core strength of the firm, our Dispute Resolution practice encompasses general civil, commercial, constitutional, and employment litigation before all courts and tribunals in Kenya. We provide comprehensive advice and representation across the full spectrum of dispute resolution methods — including litigation, arbitration, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution approaches — to effectively resolve contentious matters.
