KenyaWhat I'm looking for
My name is Silvia Simiyu Nangami Mayi, and I am currently pursuing the Advocates’ Training Programme at the Kenya School of Law. With a Bachelor of Laws from Strathmore University, I have developed a solid foundation in legal principles and practices. I am passionate about leveraging my academic knowledge and practical experiences to contribute positively to a legal organization.
Throughout my internships at Kiruti & Co. Advocates and Kimani Mwangi Advocates LLP, I have honed my skills in drafting court documents, conducting legal research, and preparing case reports. One of my proudest achievements was being part of a litigation team that successfully won a compensation case exceeding one million Kenya Shillings, where I played a key role in research and drafting pleadings. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth in the legal field.
