Frequently Asked Questions

See all questions arrow_forward
Is the initial consultation genuinely free of charge? expand_more
Yes. We provide a preliminary 30-minute evaluation to analyze case merits, assess jurisdictional posture, and outline potential courses of action without billing you. Formal fees apply only once a formal client engagement letter is mutually executed.
What industries do your advocates specialize in? expand_more
Our core capabilities span Financial Services, Commercial Real Estate, Telecommunications, Manufacturing, Health Tech, Agro-processing, and Energy Infrastructure across the East African Community.
Do you provide fixed-fee transparent pricing? expand_more
Wherever possible, we operate on milestone-based, fixed-fee structures rather than ambiguous open-ended hours. All filings, registry disbursements, and counsel charges are transparently delineated prior to commencing work.
How quickly can your litigation team file urgent chamber summons? expand_more
For acute commercial emergencies—including injunctions to prevent unlawful property disposition, bank encashment, or winding-up notices—our rapid reaction bench can draft, certify, and file emergency applications before the High Court within 24 hours.
