Our Legal Consultancy Practice
WTT Lichuma Advocates LLP provides expert legal consultancy services to a wide range of institutional, government and civil society clients. Our consultancy practice draws on the firm's deep expertise in gender rights, children's rights, human rights law and governance — areas in which our team has engaged at the national, regional and international level for over two decades. We advise on legal frameworks, policy alignment and institutional compliance across multiple sectors.
Our gender and children's rights consultancy offers legal audits of existing legislation and policies, identification of gaps and reform recommendations, and capacity-building training for institutional clients. Members of the firm have been part of the committees involved in drafting Kenya's landmark child and gender protection legislation — experience that translates into consultancy advice that is grounded in the realities of how these laws are made, enforced and interpreted.
Beyond gender and child rights, our legal consultancy encompasses regulatory advisory for NGOs, government agencies and international organisations; legal audit services for businesses; and strategic legal advice for clients navigating complex multi-stakeholder environments. We work collaboratively with clients to provide practical, implementable recommendations that strengthen legal foundations and advance organisational objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our clients ask about legal consultancy in Kenya.
NGOs, international organisations, government ministries, regulatory bodies, development partners, academic institutions, civil society coalitions and private sector companies all benefit from specialist legal consultancy. We tailor our consultancy services to the specific mandate, regulatory environment and risk profile of each client — whether domestic or international.
A gender and human rights impact assessment (GHRIA) systematically reviews a proposed policy, programme or legislation to identify how it will affect different groups — particularly women, children, minorities and marginalised communities — and whether it complies with Kenya's constitutional and international human rights obligations. We provide GHRIAs for legislative drafting processes, institutional policies and development programmes.
Our children's rights consultancy is informed by our team's experience on committees involved in drafting Kenyan child and gender protection legislation. We advise institutions on child safeguarding policies, compliance with the Children Act 2022, child rights impact assessments, and legal obligations toward children in their programmes and operations.
Yes. We design and deliver bespoke legal training workshops for institutional clients on gender rights law, children's rights, human rights frameworks, governance and compliance topics.
