Our fees vary depending on the complexity and nature of your matter. We provide transparent fee structures and will discuss costs during your initial consultation. We offer competitive rates and flexible payment options.
Litigation
The duration of litigation varies significantly depending on the complexity of the case, court schedules, and whether the matter settles. Simple matters may resolve in 6-12 months, while complex cases can take 2-3 years or more.
Not always. Many cases settle through negotiation or ADR. However, if your case proceeds to trial, you may need to attend court to testify. We'll guide you through the process and prepare you thoroughly.
We maintain a success rate of over 95% in our litigation matters. However, every case is unique and outcomes depend on the specific facts and circumstances.
Commercial & Conveyancing
Yes, we handle all aspects of property transfers including due diligence, title searches, contract drafting, and registration. We ensure your property transaction is legally sound and properly documented.
Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation of a property or business to identify any legal, financial, or physical issues before a transaction. It's crucial to protect you from hidden liabilities and ensure you make informed decisions.
Family & Succession Law
An uncontested divorce typically takes 3-6 months, while contested divorces can take 12-18 months or longer depending on the complexity of issues involved.
Creating a will involves discussing your wishes with our team, drafting the document, reviewing it with you, and properly executing it with witnesses. We help ensure your will is valid and reflects your intentions.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding process where a neutral mediator helps parties reach a mutual agreement. Arbitration is a more formal process where an arbitrator hears evidence and makes a binding decision.
Mediation agreements become binding when signed, while arbitration awards are legally binding and enforceable under the Arbitration Act of Kenya.
