@alicewangari1
Advocate and senior litigation professional delivering persuasive advocacy, meticulous drafting, and integrity-driven justice.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with over three years of diverse experience across litigation, legal advisory, and regulatory compliance. My work spans commercial disputes, corporate transactions, employment and labour relations, and civil and criminal litigation, with a strong focus on fair, accessible outcomes.
I consistently prepare precise pleadings and well-argued submissions, and I have appeared independently in multiple forums, including the High Court and specialized courts and tribunals. I’m known for sound independent judgment, procedure-conscious advocacy, and rigorous legal research that supports decisions grounded in law and precedent.
My litigation background includes managing over 100 files across subject areas, maintaining tight timelines and court-direction compliance, and leading strategy through structured case coordination. I also support clients in complex disputes, including contractual breaches, tax and insurance matters, land and property issues, constitutional and human rights enforcement, and probate matters.
Beyond the courtroom, I serve on the Law Society of Kenya’s Litigation Practice Committee and the East Africa Law Society’s Aerospace Committee. I also engage in pro bono legal education and community legal outreach, reflecting my commitment to uphold fairness, integrity, and independence in service of justice and public trust.
