  • Market recognition

Infrastructure development is a key economic driver for every economy in the world. Kenya’s Vision 2030 blueprint has set the stage for the development of world-class infrastructure that is expected to transform the country into a middle-income economy by the year 2030. 

Our knowledge base from working with clients across the public and private sectors means that we have a comprehensive understanding of each of the stakeholder’s concerns and are able to structure transactions in a manner that specifically addresses them. 

We understand the nuances and intricacies of local markets and regulatory frameworks and are able to tailor our advice to meet a project's specific needs. Our spread of lawyers enables us to advise on a range of infrastructure projects, irrespective of where such projects may be situated.  

Our strong market knowledge, coupled with an extensive regional and international reach, enables us to deliver world-class legal services to our clients. We have successfully used this model on numerous infrastructure deals.
