We advise sponsors, investors, and financiers in the structuring and closing of renewable energy projects, including solar power plant development, PPA negotiations with the Government of Kenya, EPC contract negotiations with equipment suppliers, and equity and financing arrangements with strategic partners.
We have represented clients in oil and gas transactions and disputes across Kenya and Tanzania, including oil terminal acquisitions, LPG joint venture structuring, natural gas project agreements, and pipeline and storage arbitration. Our experience covers both upstream and downstream elements of the energy value chain.
We advise on infrastructure development transactions, including long-term O&M agreements with foreign operators for major railway projects, hospitality arrangements, and multi-use real estate developments. We bring PPP structuring expertise to the infrastructure sector specifically.
We advise on the legal dimensions of energy transition, helping clients navigate the shift from traditional to renewable energy within Kenya's evolving regulatory environment. Our participation in African Just Transition scholarship and international climate forums informs our counsel on this rapidly developing area.
Our Energy and Infrastructure practice covers the full spectrum of energy sector transactions, regulatory advisory, and dispute resolution. We have advised on the acquisition of an oil terminal in Tanzania including long-term lease arrangements, negotiated commercial contracts for LPG joint ventures in Kenya and natural gas projects in Tanzania, acted for sponsors in the development of a 40 Megawatt Solar Power Plant, advised on PPA agreements with the Government of Kenya and EPC agreements with equipment suppliers, and participated in transaction advisory teams for major railway O&M engagements. Our services extend to energy regulation compliance, infrastructure PPP advisory, FIDIC contract negotiation, dispute resolution in energy and infrastructure matters, and energy transition strategy within Kenya's regulatory framework.
Energy and infrastructure projects are capital-intensive, politically sensitive, and legally complex, and the cost of getting the legal work wrong is measured in delayed projects, disputed contracts, and stranded investment. Clients trust us because we have been present at every stage of the most significant energy and infrastructure transactions in the region: from first structuring through to dispute resolution. Our combination of transaction advisory, PPP expertise, and litigation capability means we can support clients across the entire project lifecycle without handoffs, and without the knowledge loss that comes from fragmenting mandates across multiple firms.
In an increasingly regulated world, we are trusted advisors in public policy and regulatory
issues for our Clients in terms of protecting their interests and navigating the regulatory or administrative enforcement minefield. We leverage strong working relationships and networks with key regulatory agencies in Kenya and East Africa. We also have deep knowledge on public policy and policymakers and have
advised both national and county governments on development of legislation, regulations, policy design and other law reform measures.
Our principal Partner is a member of a Committee of Expert on the review of the PPP Act, Policy and Institution so as to leverage local financing.
Our Technology practice provides end-to-end legal counsel for emerging and disruptive innovations. We advise both startups and established tech companies on intellectual property
protection for software and AI, as well as on data governance and privacy in AI applications.
Our team handles corporate and financing transactions for tech ventures – from company
formation and investment rounds to licensing – and drafts/negotiates all types of technology contracts (software development, cloud service agreements, data-sharing accords, etc.). We
guide innovators through Kenya’s regulatory sandboxes and ICT frameworks – for example, helping fintech and AI-driven clients navigate the Communications Authority and central bank sandbox processes. We also assist government agencies and industry groups in shaping ICT
and AI policy (covering cybersecurity, digital economy governance and ethical AI). By
blending legal expertise with technology insight, we enable our clients to innovate
responsibly and gain a competitive advantage in the digital economy.
Our Electoral Law practice brings deep constitutional and political expertise to the full cycle of election matters. We advise candidates, political parties and civil society on compliance with Kenya’s comprehensive electoral framework – including the Elections Act 2011, the
IEBC Act, the Political Parties Act and related constitutional provisions. We also advise
clients on campaign finance, nomination rules, media and digital regulation of elections, and stakeholder engagement strategies. We also have extensive experience in election dispute resolution: our lawyers represent clients in high-profile election petitions and judicial reviews,
and handle constitutional challenges arising from electoral processes. By combining legal acumen with practical political insight, we help our clients pursue their objectives through Kenya’s democratic process in accordance with the rule of law.
We have a strong track record in constitutional litigation, judicial review, and public law
advisory, acting for both government entities and private parties in matters that shape public policy and test the boundaries of administrative action. Our experience spans the High Court, Court of Appeal, and specialised tribunals, underpinned by a deep understanding of Kenya’s
constitutional framework and the principles of administrative justice.
