Meet the Lead Advocate

Senior counsel with a mediator's instinct.

Rashid Mbwiza is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, a Certified Professional Mediator, and a Mediation Trainer. Over a decade of practice has taught him that the best legal outcomes are the ones a client understands, controls, and can live with — whether the path runs through a courtroom, a boardroom, or a quiet mediation room.

Before founding the firm he served as Associate Advocate with Chimera Kamotho & Company and Khatib & Company in Mombasa, and currently serves the Judiciary of Kenya as a Court-Annexed Mediator. He is a former Convener of the Mombasa Law Society ADR Committee and a member of the Integrity Committee of the Kwale Law Courts.

A signature capability

Court-annexed mediation

Mediating matters referred by the Judiciary of Kenya at the Mombasa courts, with the same rigour as any trial matter.

Accredited by the Mediation Training Institute (International) East Africa, mentoring mediators toward judiciary accreditation.
