From contested litigation to quiet conveyancing, family succession to commercial contracts — every matter receives the same attention, the same plain advice, and the same steady hand.
When negotiation fails and a courtroom is the right answer, we prepare thoroughly and argue clearly. We do not litigate for the sake of it — but when we do, we are relentless on the facts and disciplined on procedure.
Our litigation practice covers commercial disputes, contract breaches, tort claims, defamation, land disputes, and family litigation, in both the High Court and subordinate courts across the Coast region and beyond.
Property in Kenya is governed by overlapping statutes and registries — and the consequences of a missed search, a misunderstood consent, or a rushed transfer can be measured in years of litigation. We do the work slowly enough to be right.
From a first home purchase to a complex commercial acquisition, our conveyancing practice is built on a simple idea: the right answer at the search stage is cheaper than any cure at the trial stage.
Family law is not litigation first. It is conversation first, mediation second, and only then adjudication. When the matter is sensitive — and they almost always are — we move with the pace the family can sustain.
We act in marriage, separation, custody, maintenance, adoption, succession and probate matters, with particular care for the elderly, the vulnerable, and the children whose futures sit at the centre of a dispute.
Whether you are drafting your first employment contract or facing an unfair dismissal claim, the difference between a good outcome and a bad one usually turns on documentation and timing. We help on both fronts.
For employers, we draft contracts, handbooks and policies that work in court. For employees, we advise on terminations, severance, whistle-blower protection, and representation before the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
Most contract disputes are not about the deal — they are about what the deal said. We draft to remove ambiguity, anticipate failure, and put the parties' actual intent on the page in language that holds up under pressure.
Commercial or personal, every document we draft is built around the deal you actually have, with the protective clauses that deal needs and none of the boilerplate it does not.
As a Court-Annexed Mediator, a Certified Professional Mediator, and a Mediation Trainer, Rashid is one of a small number of advocates in the Coast region who can credibly take a matter from instruction to mediation through to a binding settlement — without ever stepping into a courtroom.
We work with owner-managed businesses, SMEs and a small number of larger institutions on the legal work that keeps them alive and growing. Practical, commercially aware, and grounded in the realities of operating a business in Kenya today.
Cashflow is the lifeblood of any business. We move quickly to recover what is owed, while keeping the commercial relationship — where it matters — intact. Where recovery is not realistic, we advise on insolvency and creditor strategy.
Kenya's immigration system is exacting. We help individuals and corporates navigate work permits, special passes, residence permits, citizenship applications and compliance — with realistic timelines and proactive case management.
If you have a question that isn't here, send us a note — we usually respond within a business day.
We work on a transparent fixed-fee or capped-fee basis for most matters, and on an hourly basis where the matter genuinely requires it. Before any work begins you will receive a written fee note that sets out the scope, the cost and the assumptions.
We offer a confidential 30-minute consultation to understand your matter and advise on the right path. Where appropriate, this is offered on a pro bono basis for meritorious matters referred through the Pro Bono Institute of Kenya.
Yes. While our offices are in Kwale and Diani, we routinely act for clients in Nairobi and across the Coast, and accept matters nationwide where our expertise is the right fit. Online consultations are available throughout.
Often, yes. Many of our mediations are matters that have been referred from the court-annexed mediation programme or by the parties' advocates. We also mediate pre-litigation disputes before pleadings are filed.
A Commissioner for Oaths is an advocate authorised to administer oaths, affirmations and affidavits, and to certify sworn documents. This is a routine part of court filings, statutory declarations and many regulatory submissions.
Urgent matters — particularly bail applications, urgent injunctive relief, and time-sensitive conveyancing — are typically taken on within 24 hours. For most other matters, we can begin work within the same week.
