Immigration

Simon van Woerden: Overall
Adroit Law has expertly assisted myself and my family with immigration, corporate, and real estate law matters over the past two years. All of Adroit's lawyers and associates are very professional, extremely well informed, savvy about the inner workings of administrative proceedings, and highly responsive and personable. Finally, their quotations and rates are competitive, fair, and provide best value for money depending on the situation (e.g. package pricing for fixed or standard procedures like visa processing, vs. hourly rates for more on-demand matters such as reviewing draft lease agreements). In so doing, Adroit's team have served as enormous support for our family in getting settled in Kenya as well as taking away much of the anxiety that comes with establishing oneself in a new and unfamiliar legal environment.

I wholeheartedly recommend Adroit's services to anyone looking for expert legal support in Kenya.

Detailed review:
1. Real Estate and Conveyancing
Navigating property investment purchase as a foreigner seemed daunting, but Adroit Law handled everything seamlessly. Their due diligence verified the property’s
ownership and compliance, and their agreement review protected me from potential risks. I highly recommend them to foreign buyers in Kenya.
They also reviewed my tenancy agreement helping me extricate myself out of potentially difficult tenancy arrangement and their review has enabled me to negotiate better terms and have more confidence in my property dealings as an expatriate in Kenya.

2. Immigration Service
Adroit Law’s immigration services were recommended to me by a friend and they helped settle my family and I in Kenyan throughout all application processes. They are knowledgeable about immigration regulations which saved us a lot of hassle.

3. Corporate and Commercial Service
I highly recommend Adroit Law Firm to any foreign investor or entrepreneur looking to establish a business in Kenya. Their expertise and dedication are truly commendable and they went the extra mile to see that our goals were accomplished.
