Like most law firms in Kenya, we practice all areas of law but tend to specialize more on Employment and Land Law litigation. So if you have been terminated from work unfairly, underpaid, not given leave or due allowances, we can help you with your case. You can see a case which we recently concluded in favour of the Claimant. This was a case involving a mjengo worker was unfairly terminated by a Chinese Construction Company. We got him an award of about Kes 110,000/-. His other colleagues also brought us their case and we managed to get them similar awards. So it doesn’t matter the role that you are employed in….if your rights were violated, we will fight your case on your behalf.
If you are undertaking a developing project, its very easy to decide to ‘cut corners’ with the paper work. The proper way is to obtain a National Construction Permit (NCA) but it is costly and lengthy to do so. We advice and encourage clients to be patient and we assist in obtaining all the requisite documentation in the correct way.
In our time of practice, we have seen that we Africans see estate planning as a ‘taboo’. It is uncommon for we African’s to write wills. However, it is a very relevant and needed practice and we can help with that. If you pass away after writing a valid will, we say that your estate is Probated. You would have names an executor who will execute your will and distribute your estate to your named beneficiaries. If your will is not valid, it can be contested in court.
If you die without a Will, your beneficiaries will require to obtain Letters of Administration. We can assist in this process too.
