Kenya Legal Counsel for Kenyans Abroad
Kenya-based legal counsel for Kenyans and investors abroad — property, business, succession and family matters handled in Kenya on your behalf.
Fraudulent land deals and unauthorised dealings with family property often target owners who are abroad. Verify before you send money, and act quickly if something looks wrong.
Do any of these situations sound familiar?
You live abroad and want to buy or sell property in Kenya without being exposed to fraud.
A family member has died and an estate in Kenya needs to be administered while you are overseas.
You need a trusted advocate in Kenya to act for you under a properly executed power of attorney.
You're not alone. Our advocates deal with these exact situations every week. Speak to us today →
Our Diaspora Legal Counsel Practice
Managing a legal matter in Kenya from another country is difficult: you cannot visit the land registry, attend court or meet the other side in person, and decisions often depend on people you cannot easily verify. Our advocates act for Kenyans in the diaspora and international clients from our offices in Karen, Nairobi and Kakamega, so your matter is handled on the ground in Kenya while you stay informed wherever you are.
We advise on buying and selling property in Kenya from abroad, including due diligence and conveyancing; registering and managing companies; estate planning, wills and succession; powers of attorney signed abroad; and family matters with a Kenyan dimension. We verify identities and documents as Kenyan law requires, explain each step in writing, and work across time zones by phone, email, WhatsApp and video call.
We do not have offices outside Kenya. What we offer is Kenya-based legal counsel you can instruct and hold accountable — with clear advice, regular updates and documents you can review before anything is signed.
