F.M. Muteti & Co. Advocates is a client-focused Kenyan law firm with established offices in Nairobi and Mombasa, providing practical, high-quality legal services to individuals, families, SMEs, corporates, and foreign investors. We serve clients across Kenya and internationally, with a strong track record in delivering reliable legal solutions that are clear, commercially sound, and legally precise.
With our dual presence in Kenyaโs key commercial and investment centres, we are well-positioned to support clients pursuing property transactions, business interests, litigation, and private legal matters in both the capital and the Coast. Our approach combines strong legal drafting, strategic advisory, and disciplined execution, ensuring every matter is handled professionally from instruction to conclusion.
A Leading Law Firm in Nairobi and Mombasa for Property Transactions
Our firm is widely trusted for real estate and property law in Kenya, acting for both local and diaspora clients purchasing land, apartments, and sectional properties. We handle transactions in Nairobi and its satellite areas as well as Mombasa and the greater Coastal region, ensuring buyers and investors are protected through proper due diligence, compliant documentation, and structured completion processes.
In Nairobi, we support clients purchasing property in prime and developing areas including residential apartments, commercial property, and investment land. In Mombasa and the Coast, we advise property buyers across locations such as Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu, Tudor, Likoni, Diani, Kilifi and Kwale, where transactions often require heightened legal care due to title history, completion documentation, and local compliance requirements.
Our property services include sale agreement drafting and review, title searches, verification of ownership, completion management, registration of transfers, and general conveyancing support. We provide clear guidance so clients can purchase property in Kenya with confidence.

We assist with company registration in Kenya, contract drafting and review, corporate governance, shareholder arrangements, and commercial advisory services designed to reduce risk and improve decision-making.
We also support foreign-owned companies, diaspora entrepreneurs, and investors seeking proper legal structuring and compliance when setting up or expanding in Kenya.
Litigation, Dispute Resolution and Debt Recovery
We represent clients in a wide range of legal disputes and contentious matters, with a firm approach grounded on evidence, strategy, and efficiency. Our litigation practice covers civil and commercial disputes, property disputes, contractual claims, employment disputes, and recovery matters.
We also provide structured debt recovery services in Kenya, including demand letters, negotiation, and litigation where necessary, with a focus on securing enforceable outcomes while maintaining professional and commercially sensible strategies.
