Where to start

Three ways into the practice.

Most enquiries come from one of three places. Pick the one that fits and we’ll take it from there.

Practice

Six areas, closely held.

Deliberately narrow so the work stays sharp. If your matter sits outside these areas, we’ll say so plainly and refer you on.

  • General Practice

    Day-to-day legal questions that do not fit neatly into a single specialism — advice, letters, and attestation.

    • Legal advisory
    • Certification & attestation
    • Affidavits & demand letters

  • Conveyancing & Property

    Buying, selling, and transferring land and property in Kenya — from title due diligence through to registration.

    • Sale & transfer agreements
    • Title searches & due diligence
    • Charge & lease documentation

  • Employment

    Contracts and policies for employers, and advice for employees on terms, termination, and disputes.

    • Employment contracts
    • HR policies & handbooks
    • Termination & disciplinary advice

  • Data Protection & Privacy

    Compliance with the Data Protection Act, 2019 and engagement with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

    • ODPC registration
    • Privacy policies & DPIAs
    • Data processing agreements

  • Commercial & Contract

    Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the contracts that hold a business together.

    • Contract drafting & review
    • Shareholder & founder agreements
    • Supplier & NDA templates

  • Wills, Estates & Succession

    Planning for what happens to your assets, and assisting families through succession when the time comes.

    • Trust structuring
    • Succession & probate

    Scope

    A 20–30 minute call (video or phone) to understand what you need. You leave knowing whether we can help, what the work involves, and what it will cost. No fee for this call.

    Engage

    If it is a fit, you receive an engagement letter setting out scope, fees, and timelines. Work begins once it is signed and any retainer is received.

About

Daisy Muya, Principal Advocate.

Daisy is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with three years in active practice. She read law at Kenyatta University, completed her bar qualification at the Kenya School of Law, and holds specialist training in Data Privacy & Protection from Strathmore University.

The firm is young by design. It keeps a narrow set of practice areas so the work stays careful, and it meets clients where they are — on video, on WhatsApp, over email — rather than behind a reception desk. Clients range from first-time home buyers and founders signing their first employment contracts, to established SMEs formalising data protection compliance, to nonprofits that need their internal policies to match the way they actually operate.

The aim is straightforward: give people good law in plain language, and charge in a way that makes sense for what was done.

FAQ

Practical questions.

How are fees handled?
Most matters are quoted as a fixed fee once scope is clear — you know the cost before work starts. Where a matter is open-ended (for example, a negotiation), we work on an hourly rate with a capped estimate. Conveyancing follows the Advocates Remuneration Order. Every engagement is set out in writing before it begins.
Do you take meetings in person or by video?
Initial consultations are by video call or phone by default — it is faster for both sides and keeps costs lower. In-person meetings in Nairobi can be arranged when the matter calls for it, typically for signing, attestation, or sensitive estate conversations.
How quickly will I hear back?
Enquiries submitted through this site, WhatsApp, or email receive a first response within one business day. For active matters, we agree response windows in the engagement letter so you know what to expect.
What jurisdictions do you work in?
Kenya. The firm practises Kenyan law and is registered with the Law Society of Kenya. For matters involving other jurisdictions, we will tell you plainly when to involve foreign counsel and can recommend options where helpful.
What does an engagement letter cover?
A plain-language description of the work, who does it, the fee basis, expected timelines, and how we handle confidentiality and conflicts. You receive it before any chargeable work begins and nothing is assumed until you sign.
Is what I share with you confidential?
Yes. Advocate-client privilege applies from first contact, and we treat enquiry details the same way. Messages submitted through this form are stored only for the purpose of responding to you and managing the engagement.
