What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a legal team where I can handle litigation and banking security work end-to-end, provide regulatory compliance advice, and grow through mentorship and continuous learning while supporting clients with clear communication and ethical service.

I’m an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, focused on delivering practical, risk-conscious legal support across litigation, banking security matters, and claims. I combine sharp analytical thinking with careful attention to detail, so my advice is clear, defensible, and execution-ready.

In insurance subrogation recovery, employment and labour disputes, and civil-commercial litigation, I represent clients through pre-trial, trial, and post-judgment stages. I draft and perfect complex security documentation, execute claims strategy, and negotiate consent orders to move matters toward enforceable outcomes.

For financial institutions, I advise on regulatory compliance and handle security documentation end-to-end—from due diligence through registration and perfection with relevant government agencies. I also prepare status reports to track security registration progress, helping clients stay ahead of deadlines and operational requirements.

I’m equally comfortable in conveyancing work, including drafting property and lease agreements, reviewing offer letters, and perfecting transfers and charges. I also support corporate governance and compliance needs—such as company registrations, share transfers, and drafting governance instruments—while staying current through continuous professional development.
