Conveyancing & Real Estate Law
Property transactions require precision. A poorly drafted lease, an incomplete title search, or a missed compliance requirement can create liability that surfaces years after a transaction closes.
We advise on property acquisition, disposition, leasing, and land use. We structure legally sound transactions, conduct rigorous due diligence, draft conveyancing instruments, and navigate local land registries to secure commercial and private real estate assets.
Our clients come to us having often already encountered the consequences of legal shortcuts – incomplete transactions, disputed title, lease errors that could have been caught early. We ensure those gaps do not occur.
Corporate & Commercial Advisory
We provide general corporate counsel across the business lifecycle – from company registration and structuring through to share transfers, director changes, partnership deeds, statutory compliance, and governance.
Our clients are often at a moment of transition: seeking financing, bringing in a new shareholder, restructuring for a new market, or simply ensuring their records are in order for the next stage of growth. We help them understand the right legal vehicle for what they are trying to do and ensure the paperwork reflects the reality of the business.
Strategic Advisory & Consultancy
For international partners, coalitions, and institutions requiring end-to-end programme management, multi-disciplinary project oversight, and strategic coherence evaluations, we bring a distinctive combination of legal rigour and cross-sectoral experience.
We have worked with development partners and multi-stakeholder initiatives across East Africa and beyond, providing strategic and legal advisory that bridges compliance requirements, multi-party governance, and programmatic delivery.
How we work
We begin every commercial engagement with a clear scope and timeline. Our initial consultation is free. Once scope is agreed, all work proceeds under a letter of engagement.
We are direct about what a transaction or matter requires and what it will cost. We do not overcomplicate and we do not cut corners.
