Legal Counsel That Works As Hard As Your Business Does
From our offices at The Mirage, Waiyaki Way, we advise banks, insurers, developers, state corporations, and foreign investors entering Kenya.
Agreements That Hold, Deals That Close
Our contract law team drafts, negotiates, and — when needed — enforces commercial agreements before the High Court of Kenya at Milimani and at the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration.
Recover What You Are Owed
Delay tactics should never erode your balance sheet. Our insurance dispute lawyers pursue outstanding claims under the Insurance Act and the Insurance Regulatory Authority framework — so your cashflow is protected.
Buy Property With Certainty
Whether it is a townhouse in Kileleshwa or a mixed-use development in Ruiru, our conveyancing lawyers in Nairobi run watertight due diligence under the Land Registration Act 2012 — so there are no surprises after the title transfers.
Resolve Disputes Without Courtroom Delay
As arbitration and mediation advocates in Nairobi, we resolve commercial conflicts faster and more discreetly than litigation — before NCIA, KIAC, and ad-hoc UNCITRAL tribunals.
Finance and Infrastructure, Structured Right
Our project finance team advises on PPPs under the PPP Act 2021, Islamic finance structures, and cross-border lending — turning Kenya’s infrastructure pipeline into bankable reality.
Governance You Can Defend
Boardrooms are under scrutiny. Our governance audits follow the MWONGOZO Code and international best practice — protecting directors before regulators ever come calling.
What Our Clients Say
When an arbitration threatened our regional expansion, CS Advocates resolved it at the NCIA in under eight months. Their partners were hands-on from the first call — and the fee structure was clear from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Nairobi Clients
What is the statute of limitations for a contract claim in Kenya?
Under the Limitation of Actions Act (Cap 22), a simple contract claim must be filed within 6 years of the breach. Our contract dispute lawyers in Nairobi recommend acting well before the deadline — evidence and witnesses fade long before the law does.
How long does conveyancing take in Nairobi?
A straightforward residential transfer registered under the Land Registration Act 2012 typically completes in 60–90 days, subject to Land Control Board consents and searches at the Nairobi Registry. We keep you informed at every stage.
Can a foreign company own land in Kenya?
Non-citizens may hold land on a 99-year leasehold basis under the Constitution and the Land Registration Act. Our real estate team in Westlands regularly structures compliant acquisitions for foreign investors.
