I provide legal advice on commercial transactions, governance, litigation strategy, and enterprise risk.

Kenya
Message

At Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority, I advise the Board, Managing Director, and executive leadership on governance, commercial transactions, litigation, regulatory compliance, and enterprise risk. I have protected public land and institutional assets valued at over KES 7 billion and reduced litigation liability by approximately KES 4 million.

I lead the structuring and negotiation of PPP transactions worth over KES 150 million, manage a commercial contract portfolio exceeding KES 100 million, and chair the Long-Term Leases Committee for agreements generating approximately KES 20 million and KES 30 million in annual income.

My foundation in legal research and public-sector governance at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions informs my practical, commercially focused approach to legal strategy. I translate complex legal and regulatory issues into clear solutions that strengthen accountability, protect organisational value, and support sustainable growth.
