Energy

Overview

We are at the forefront of providing our clients with legal advice in a complex regulatory environment.

With wide commercial scale discoveries in oil and minerals in Kenya, the energy sector has expanded rapidly. Large-scale infrastructure projects have solidified the sector with an eye to boost domestic and foreign export.

Working closely with the Infrastructure, Projects & PPP practice area, we are at the forefront of providing our clients with legal advice in a complex regulatory environment.
