What I'm looking for
I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with a strong foundation in commercial law, particularly in tax, employment law, and debt recovery. My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Laws from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa and a Post Graduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law. My professional experience spans various roles, including my current position as a Partner at Alvin Nyongesa & Co. Advocates, where I lead a general practice.
Previously, I served as a Legal Officer at Kopo Kopo Inc., where I honed my skills in litigation and compliance, and as an Associate at Rabala & Co. Advocates, where I was responsible for drafting legal instruments and representing clients in court. My tenure at the Kenya Revenue Authority further refined my expertise in tax law and litigation, allowing me to contribute significantly to case analysis and legal opinions. I am passionate about continuous growth and actively engage in moot competitions and research to enhance my legal acumen.
