No Attorney-Client Relationship

Until such time, any information you provide is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Our legal services are provided in accordance with the Laws of Kenya and are subject to:

  • The Advocates Act and Rules made thereunder
  • The Law Society of Kenya's Code of Standards and Guidance
  • Professional ethics and conduct requirements

Fees and Payment

  • Legal fees will be outlined in your engagement letter and may be based on hourly rates, fixed fees, or contingency arrangements
  • Payment terms will be specified in your engagement letter
  • We reserve the right to cease work if payments are not made as agreed

Conflicts of Interest

We conduct conflict checks before accepting new matters. If a conflict of interest arises during representation, we will inform you promptly and discuss appropriate steps, which may include withdrawal from representation.

Termination of Services

Either party may terminate the attorney-client relationship subject to:
