Dispute Resolution & Litigation

Our Dispute Resolution & Litigation practice represents clients across a broad range of civil, commercial, and constitutional disputes before Kenyan courts and tribunals. We handle contentious matters from inception through to trial and appeal, including breach of contract claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, commercial fraud, and constitutional petitions, always working to achieve the most efficient and favourable outcome for our clients.

Where appropriate, we advise clients on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation and arbitration, recognizing that not every dispute is best resolved through litigation. Our team has experience appearing before the High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court, and specialized tribunals such as the Employment and Labour Relations Court and the Environment and Land Court.

We work closely with clients to develop clear litigation strategies from the outset, balancing the costs and risks of litigation against the likelihood of success and the client's broader commercial or personal objectives. Whether you are pursuing a claim or defending one, our lawyers provide robust, strategic representation at every stage of the dispute resolution process.
