Wins & Impact
Since our inception, we have set out to be more than a law firm. We have sought to be catalysts — advisors whose work does not merely resolve the matter at hand, but helps shape the very environment in which our clients live, build, and grow.
The pages that follow tell that story. Over the years, we have attained significant milestones that have helped shape the legal and regulatory landscape in Kenya, across the region, and on the wider continent. We have established precedents where none existed, drafted legislation for other nations, and carried Kenyan expertise into cross-border and global arenas. Each matter reflects a single conviction: that excellent legal work, done with purpose, can change things for the better.
That impact has been recognised at home and abroad. We were named Regional Law Firm of the Year 2026 by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, a distinction earned in global company. For the past three years, we have been members of the Leading Law Firms network of the East Africa Law Society. We were named Winner of the Women-Led Law Firm (Kenya) award by Lawyer Monthly (UK) in 2018, 2019, and 2021, and recognised as a Corporate, Commercial and Governance Law Firm by Finance Monthly (UK). And in 2025, we were honoured as a Leading Law Firm at the Digitally Fit Awards — in recognition of our initiative harnessing AI and animation to create legal awareness videos that bring the law within reach of ordinary people.
These honours mean a great deal to us, yet they are not the measure of our work. The true measure is impact: problems solved, rights secured, businesses safeguarded, and legacies preserved. What follows is a selection of the wins we are proud to have delivered.

The World's First Technovation - A Precedent Written From Scratch
As an intern, our client innovated a GIS solution saving his employer roughly KShs. 6 billion annually. The employer adopted it but never accounted for his IP rights.

Landmark & Precedent-Setting Matters
Our client had risen to senior manager at a multinational aviation company and country manager for its Uganda branch. Her wrongful, unfair termination was compounded by a deliberate campaign to shame her: the employer published her profile on social media and ran exit notices in every major East African daily, daily, for a month.

Intellectual Property & Innovation
For a fintech, the website is the storefront, brand, and first handshake with a customer. When our client found a competitor had lifted their site wholesale — design and copy — it was their work, voice, and identity repurposed to compete against them.

Family Business, Succession & Private Wealth
Family enterprises are as much about relationships as they are about law. We bring both the legal rigour and the human sensitivity to guide families through succession, resolve conflict, and preserve wealth and vision across generations.

Data Privacy, Technology & AI
Data protection reaches into every organisation that holds information about the people it serves. We help institutions across sectors move from audit to certification — and from paper policies to a living culture of compliance.

Real Estate & Conveyancing
Property is among the most significant assets our clients hold, and every stage of a property relationship carries legal weight. We support our clients across that full journey — from the first document to the final transfer of title.

Regional, Continental & Global Reach
Africa's most ambitious enterprises no longer think in national terms alone, and neither do we. From cross-border commercial partnerships to drafting the laws of other nations and contributing to global legal research, our work spans the East African Community, the COMESA bloc, Southern Africa, West Africa, and beyond.
— IMPACT —
For us, impact is not a by-product of the work — it is the point of it. Yes, our shelves hold awards that humble us, but our truest measure lies in the lives, businesses, and conversations we have touched along the way.
We believe the law belongs to everyone, so we make it reach further. Using AI and animation, we create legal awareness videos and share them freely, and through our podcast, The Law & You, we equip entrepreneurs to build on solid legal ground. As recognised thought leaders, our voice shapes the field — from a Business Daily feature on data protection law to authoring the Kenyan chapters of the ILN Real Estate and Corporate Law guides. Through service at the Law Society of Kenya and the East Africa Law Society, we help shape the profession itself.
Our ideas travel. Our founder spoke on capital raising at the What Women Want Summit; on KBC Radio we explored workplace innovation, the rights of domestic workers, family business dynamics, and carbon credits; on Family Icon Radio, the delicate terrain of family business disputes. We joined the World Bank's Cheetahs Forum on African family-owned businesses, and took the stage at the World AI Show on GDPR and machine learning. Many talks; lasting impact.
