Kenyan-qualified advocate skilled in legal research, drafting, and court practice.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Kenyan-qualified advocate with practical experience across law firm practice and court attachments, focused on legal research, drafting, and court procedure. I completed the Advocates Training Programme at the Kenya School of Law after earning an LL.B from Egerton University.
Through judicial attachment, clinical externship and pupillage I developed strengths in drafting pleadings, preparing legal opinions, case filing (manual and electronic), court attendance and client interviews, and I have experience preparing briefs and managing office registries.
I am a diligent, honest professional who learns quickly, works well under pressure, and seeks opportunities to contribute effectively to a legal team while continuing to build courtroom and transactional experience.
