@sylviaagagliate
Advocate of the High Court of Kenya specializing in corporate, banking, and estate law.
I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with over five years of cumulative legal practice and three years post-Bar experience, focused on delivering practical legal solutions across corporate, banking, and property matters.
Currently I serve as Legal Officer at Dry Associates Investment Bank where I manage regulatory compliance, AML/KYC frameworks, conduct compliance audits, and liaise with regulators such as CMA, RBA, FRC and NSE.
Previously I practiced at Raffman Dhanji Elms & Virdee Advocates LLP, leading transactional support for high-value real estate developments, conducting due diligence on multi-million shilling transactions, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, and managing merger filings with the Competition Authority.
I hold arbitration qualifications (MCIArb), a Post Graduate Diploma from the Kenya School of Law and an LL.B from Riara University; I combine technical proficiency in LexisNexis and Microsoft Office with strengths in client advisory, risk mitigation and legal training.
