Kaplan & Stratton Advocates Information

Having been established in 1938 K&S is one of Kenya’s oldest law firms and is regarded as one of the leading law firms in the East African region. K&S is also one of the founder members of Lex-Africa, a leading network of independent law firms spanning 28 African countries. The firm, run by 22 partners and supported by a fleet of associates, offers a comprehensive range of legal services and solutions for domestic and international clients. A number of our lawyers (in addition to being qualified Kenyan lawyers) are English trained, having gained experience as barristers or solicitors before coming to Kenya. With Kenya’s commercial laws drawing on laws from Commonwealth jurisdictions, and particularly the English system, K&S offers clients a distinct advantage in having dual-qualified partners and associates in the practice. This is in tandem with our motto of what defines the firm: ‘global expertise with local knowledge’. Building on our heritage several of our partners are considered leading experts in their field of practice as evidenced by the numerous rankings and accolades received (http://www.kaplanstratton.com/firm-profile/global-rankings/). Our objective is to provide high quality legal and commercial advice through an efficiently managed professional practice with the goal of facilitating our clients’ business dealings in Kenya and elsewhere in the East African region.
