The People


As one of the oldest advisers in Kenya, our firm and its lawyers are reputed across our client base as trusted counsel, always on call to provide guidance throughout the business life cycle. We take pride in the fact that our team is held in high regard by peers in the legal industry, both locally and internationally.

The founding partner, D.V. Kapila, made his name as a litigator in courts across the country and also advised clients looking to establish a foothold in pre and post-independence Kenya. He was also instrumental in supporting those on the front line of the independence struggle, earning him the quiet respect of the nation.

Our current partnership boasts one of Kenya’s first Senior Counsel, as well as one of the minds that shaped the country’s privatisation initiative and listed company legislation. The team also comprises English-qualified lawyers with a combined 20 years of experience gained through advising on innovative and market-shaping transactions.
