Transparent fees, structured to the work.
Fair fees that reflect the nature and complexity of the work — so you can make informed decisions before instructions are placed.
Advocates Remuneration Order
For the majority of contentious and non-contentious work, fees are anchored to the Advocates Remuneration Order, 2014 — the statutory framework governing advocates' fees in Kenya. This covers sale and purchase of land, leases and tenancies, formation of business entities, trademark and patent work, election petitions, High Court and subordinate court proceedings, selected tribunals, and probate and administration.
Retainer & Time-Spent Fees
For work outside the Remuneration Order — complex commercial advisory, transactional work, regulatory engagement and other specialist mandates — fees are charged on a retainer or time-spent basis at agreed hourly or daily rates that reflect seniority and expertise. Clients receive a detailed schedule of work undertaken and time recorded.
Debt Collection
Non-litigious debt collection is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis. The firm earns a fee only upon successful recovery, typically an agreed percentage of amounts actually recovered (commonly 20% plus VAT).
Institutional Fee Agreements
Institutional clients with recurring or high-volume instructions are encouraged to enter fee agreements that set agreed rates or structures for ongoing work — usually lowering overall cost while allowing the firm to dedicate appropriate resources to the relationship.
VAT & Disbursements
All fees are exclusive of VAT, disbursements and Government levies. Disbursements — court filing fees, registry fees, stamp duty, statutory charges and other out-of-pocket expenses — are charged at cost, with supporting documentation available on request. Anticipated disbursements are advised in advance where practicable.
Please note: fee percentages and arrangements described here are indicative and agreed in writing for each matter. Nothing on this page constitutes a binding fee quotation.
A clear path from first consultation to delivery
- 1
Initial Consultation & Conflict Check
Every new matter begins with a discussion to understand the client's objectives and the background, followed by a conflict-of-interest check before any instructions are formally accepted.
- 2
Scope of Work & Engagement Letter
Once instructions are accepted, the firm issues a written engagement letter setting out the scope of work, the fee arrangement and the expected timeline — so the client knows what to expect before work begins.
- 3
Matter Execution
The matter is assigned to a qualified member of the team, with oversight from the firm's leadership and regular progress updates at agreed intervals or key milestones.
- 4
Documentation & Delivery
Work product is delivered in a clear, practical form — a contract, pleading, compliance manual or advisory memorandum — and reviewed with the client before the matter is closed.
- 5
Post-Matter Support
The firm remains available for follow-up queries after a matter concludes, and where relevant provides implementation support such as staff training or assistance with regulatory filings.
