What is the difference between a lawyer and an advocate in Kenya?

In Kenya, a lawyer who is qualified and admitted to legal practice is called an advocate. The term advocate and lawyer are often used interchangeably. Every practicing advocate in Kenya must be a member of the Law Society of Kenya. Mutea Muthuri & Associates consists of qualified advocates who are members of the Law Society of Kenya.

Can foreign nationals use Kenyan lawyers?

Yes. Kenyan law firms regularly advise foreign nationals and international companies on Kenyan legal matters including company registration, immigration, property purchase, employment law, and commercial contracts. We have experience advising foreign investors, multinational companies, and foreign nationals living or working in Kenya.

Do Kenyan lawyers advise on both business and personal matters?

Yes. Mutea Muthuri & Associates advises on both commercial and personal legal matters. On the commercial side, we handle company law, tax, commercial contracts, and employment.
