We offer both in-person meetings at our office on the 9th Floor, MJ1 Business Park, Westlands Road, and secure virtual conferences.

We pride ourselves on cost transparency. Our fees are structured in compliance with the Advocates Remuneration Order (ARO) of Kenya. Depending on the nature of the assignment, we provide fixed-fee arrangements, structured milestone retainers, or hourly rates with clearly documented scope agreements so there are no unexpected costs.

Under the Companies Act 2015 and the Business Registration Service (BRS), establishing a company entails name reservation, beneficial ownership disclosures, tax registration (PIN) via KRA iTax, and mandatory statutory filings. Our Corporate Practice handles end-to-end entity setup, regulatory licensing, and opening corporate bank accounts.

Our Real Estate department conducts exhaustive due diligence across the ArdhiSasa digital land registry and physical registries, verifying root of title, rates clearance, land rent status, planning approvals, and preparing customized Sale Agreements, Transfers, and Charge documents to safeguard buyers, sellers, and lenders.

While we provide aggressive courtroom representation, we prioritize Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) including mediation and arbitration under the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA) and CIArb rules. ADR often delivers faster, confidential, and commercially sensible settlements.
