A boutique practice with genuine capacity.
Led by principal advocate Henry Ngacha and a team of qualified advocates, the firm combines dedicated attention with the breadth of expertise usually found in larger firms.
Henry Ngacha & Co. Advocates is a Nairobi-based law firm offering focused legal counsel across a deliberately broad but carefully chosen range of practice areas. The firm is led by its principal advocate, Henry Ngacha, and comprises a team of qualified advocates who handle the firm's matters — so that clients benefit from dedicated attention and consistent oversight at every stage of their instruction.
The firm is built on the premise that clients are best served by a team that combines depth of expertise with genuine capacity. This team-based model allows the firm to combine the responsiveness of a boutique practice with the range of expertise more commonly associated with larger firms — spanning traditional litigation and transactional work as well as newer, specialised regulatory areas such as fintech and payments regulation and anti-money laundering compliance.
Operating from The Westery, Ground Floor, Mpesi Lane, Off Muthithi Road, Westlands, Nairobi, the firm is positioned to serve clients across Kenya's commercial centre while maintaining the accountability and quality control of a tightly supervised practice. Every instruction, however routine or complex, is assigned to a qualified member of the team and handled with the same standard of care.
Not abstract commitments — how the firm is structured.
Because every file is handled by a qualified member of the team under firm-wide quality standards, clients deal with people properly equipped for their matter.

Bound by the standards of the Kenyan profession.
As advocates practising in Kenya, the firm is bound by the Advocates Act, the Law Society of Kenya's Code of Standards of Professional Practice, and the general law of advocate–client privilege.
Every engagement is subject to a conflict-of-interest check before instructions are accepted, and client information is treated as strictly confidential — both during and after the conclusion of a matter.
Quality & documentation standards
Every matter is assigned a structured file reference, and all deliverables are prepared to a consistent standard of clarity and professional presentation — giving the team a shared standard to work to across every file.
