Bryant’s Law LLP is a new and diverse team of highly skilled professionals providing outstanding legal
services in an efficient, cost-effective and holistic manner.
We are all trained as lawyers but we recognize that not every client concern requires a traditional legal
approach, instead we think outside of the box, working with our clients to identify and address all aspects
of individual or organizational need, always striving to find strategic and practical yet comprehensive
solutions.
Of course, if your matter needs to go to court, our team includes licensed advocates who do that too!
While we are based in Kenya, our core team has a vast array of legal and non-legal experiences in other
jurisdictions and, if our in-house experience does not address your need sufficiently, we also have an
ever-growing roster of local and international consultants that we call on as necessary to ensure that
our clients get the most relevant and expert advice in a given situation.
We are committed to providing the highest quality client-centred legal services by applying a sound and ethical
approach in a creative and dynamic team environment, with the ability to serve our clients in both English and
Kiswahili..
Due Process
How it works with us...
Consultation
During this stage, the law firm meets with the client to understand their legal needs and objectives. The firm may ask questions to gather information and provide initial legal advice.
Strategize
After the consultation, the law firm will strategize and develop a plan of action to achieve the client's
objectives. This may involve researching legal precedents, drafting legal documents, and negotiating with other parties.
Take Action
In this final stage, the law firm takes action to implement the plan developed in the previous stage. This may involve representing the client in court, negotiating settlements, or providing ongoing legal advice and support. The law firm will work closely with the client to ensure that their legal needs are met effectively and efficiently.
Why We Are Best...
Expertise in Kenyan law: The law firm can highlight its deep understanding of Kenyan law and regulations,
which can help clients navigate the legal landscape with ease.
Personalized service: The law firm can emphasize its commitment to providing personalized service to clients,
including regular communication and tailored legal solutions.
Proven track record: The law firm can showcase its successful track record
of representing clients in various legal matters, including high-profile cases, to demonstrate its competence and
reliability.

A RADICAL CHANGE TO FIGHTING CORRUPTION IN KENYA
Kenya has just finished its 2022 elections. The promise of change leads us to write the following.
Any past attempts in the economic sector to elevate Kenya into middle income nation status have floundered
on the dire state of the country’s famed corruption. In fact, corruption is such a drain on its economic life
presently that no sane investor will – under the current scenario – set up multi million dollar projects in
Kenya unless the GOK is a partner thereto. That is anathema to many investors weaned on the Chicago School &
Friedman Milton’s economic theories, and thus Kenya has achieved pariah status due to its inability to conquer
the corruption dragon.
Much ink has been wasted on thirty years of active failure in making a difference in corruption statistics in Kenya.
We have a more radical solution, whose sine qua non is the direct and active participation of the Office of the
Presidency (‘OTP’). H.E. The President Dr. Ruto has recently personally taken responsibility for fighting corruption
and the resultant loss of resources in Kenya, stating “No one will be allowed to steal the republic’s resources…you
try and you will encounter me personally … action will declare my intentions louder.”
The main institutions in Kenya that have the constitutional mandate to protect citizens’ life and property are the
(i) Judiciary, (ii) Police and (iii) Directorate of Public Prosecution (“DPP”). Without wanting to place lipstick on
a pig, let us bluntly state that all three have and are continuing and shall continue to violate that constitutional
trust in unimaginable ways. Bribed judges, bribed police and bribed prosecutors. What a disaster. Anyone denying this
either is not engaged in service delivery in these sectors, or lives with fairies...

Detailed Areas of Practice
Criminal Law
Our core team has experience in many aspects of criminal law including both defending and prosecuting cases at trial and appeals, providing legal aid to indigent accused and empowering others to defend themselves, and providing opinions on complex legal issues to defence lawyers and prosecutors, the judiciary, the Attorney General, the police and other public agencies involved in the criminal justice system. We have been involved in various aspects of criminal justice reform, including acting as intervenors and submitting pauper briefs in constitutional cases, advising task forces and police forces on policing, sentencing and penal reform, and conducting empirical research on access to justice in criminal courts.
Business & Commercial Law
This area of law deals with the body of rules governing commercial transactions, i.e. the provision of goods and services in exchange for payment, and includes developing a business model, establishment and governance of corporate entities, hiring and managing labour, regulatory compliance, financial accounting, and sale and distribution of goods and services. We regularly act for all types of entities engaged in business, ranging from individual, small and medium enterprises to large multinational corporations. Whether you are starting a new business venture, or are an existing business addressing new requirements or emerging risks, our team has the necessary expertise and utilises the necessary strategies to help you navigate an increasingly complex environment to address your day-to-day business needs.
Banking and Finance Law
This area of law encompasses regulation of the commercial banking, capital markets, insurance, derivatives and investment management sectors. We provide comprehensive, pragmatic advice and representation for concerns with regulation, transactions, or securitisation relating to any financial or banking institution. We support our clients to understand the legal implications of transactions and structures, and adapt to challenges posed by new regulations, market practices or economic circumstances that affect participants transacting in the financial market.
Appellatte and Judicial Review
Our core team has many years of experience arguing judicial reviews and appeals in civil, administrative, criminal and constitutional matters. We have researched, developed and argued cases as lead counsel and co-counsel, both pro bono and otherwise, before the Supreme Courts of Kenya and Canada, the Courts of Appeal of Kenya and Ontario, the Divisional Court of Ontario, the Federal Court of Canada and the High Court of Kenya. We have expertise in preparing and arguing pauper briefs on behalf of indigent and vulnerable litigants.
Sports & Entertainment Law
We are deeply involved in regulation of the creative and sports sectors, actively pushing for reforms that enhance the range and depth of rights and obligations of all stakeholders involved in sport, music, film, television and radio, including intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets) and contractual matters (employment, sponsorships, royalties).
Workplace Investigations
Every employer is responsible for making sure that every person who is involved with the workplace –
in any way – feels safe and respected in the work environment. A workplace investigation is conducted
when there has been a complaint made by any person against an employee or volunteer of a workplace –
including a supervisor or person in management – about some action or conduct by that employee/volunteer/manager,
in a situation that involves the workplace or work environment, even if the action or conduct did not
occur while the employee (or volunteer or manager) was performing their job duties.
A workplace investigator interviews everyone involved in the situation – which may have occurred in one incident
or in several incidents over a period of time – to gather information from each person’s perspective, with a view
to determining what actually occurred. In addition to finding out what happened, the workplace investigator also
considers what conditions of the work environment may have contributed in some way to what happened. Based on all
of the information gathered, the workplace investigator determines whether it is more likely than not that the
employee/volunteer/manager engaged in some type of misconduct or wrongdoing. (While this may include potential
criminal wrongdoing in some cases, the purpose of a workplace investigation is not to decide whether the
employee/volunteer/manager committed any criminal offence.)
Public Policy & Governance
Our legislative and policy experts have been involved in developing policy and drafting rules, guidelines,
regulations and statutes for local, sub-national and national governments in many jurisdictions including
Kenya, Canada, Somalia, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Viet Nam. Our experts are regularly engaged to
facilitate or participate in law reform as members of task forces, as panellists and speakers at national,
regional and international conferences and events, and as consultants to governments, civil society and
inter-governmental agencies.
Real Estate Law
We have dedicated specialists experienced in all stages of transactions when buying, selling or leasing real property. We have worked with a multitude of corporations, including clients within the hotel and leisure sector, and even foreign governments investing in Kenyan properties, at all times ensuring fairness, honesty, and integrity. This area of law intersects with other areas such as equity and trust law, and Bryant’s Law approaches real estate and land transactions from this holistic perspective.
Media & Technology Law
We lead or provide input on policy development, draft legislation, conduct seminars and workshops, and provide legal representation in a wide range of matters relating to both the public and private sectors, and print and digital platforms, including privacy, access to information, freedom of expression, protection of children and vulnerable groups in the online space, defamation, and intellectual property rights.
Human Rights & Constitutional Law
We have extensive experience in research and advocacy around human rights and constitutional matters, through undertaking empirical research, legislative and policy development and review, public and private sector compliance review and advice, public interest litigation, and development and delivery of public legal education on a wide array of human rights issues. We work closely with clients in an effort to enhance public services, promote corporate social responsibility, provide access to justice for vulnerable and marginalized groups, and expand the framework of law and policy for progressive and sustainable social, economic, environmental and cultural development.
Conveyancing
Our work begins when clients have sourced their property of choice. We will hold your hand through each stage of the acquisition process, whether residential or commercial, and use all available evidence to confirm that the purchase, parties, and finances are legitimate, and that any encumbrances, licences or other impediments are transparent and addressed as necessary. We work closely with the client to provide a stress-free service that conserves time and keeps costs to a reasonable minimum.
Civil Litigation and & Dispute Resolution
Civil matters are private disputes between individuals or organisations that claim a remedy for one party’s actions or inaction that results in financial loss or other injury to the other party. Our job is to determine who is responsible for the loss or injury, and seek redress. Our team’s combined experience in this area transcends a wide array of legal matters and the full spectrum of challenges before the Magistrates’ Courts, High Court, and Court of Appeal, with tremendous success in complex, multi-faceted cases across multiple jurisdictions. We offer holistic, calculated and effective advice on every matter, avoiding expensive and time consuming litigation whenever possible, working tirelessly to achieve success for our clients through innovative settlement approaches, with the aim of reducing costs while still achieving the greatest possible benefit in each case.

FAQs
What Are Your Business Hours?
We offer flexible meeting times and schedule calls to accommodate clients that require assistance outside of the usual 9:00am – 5:00pm office hours structure.
How Do You Bill For Your Legal Services?
We are transparent and provide a comprehensive breakdown of our charges using our legal software. You will be able to see the time spent on tasks and a description of what work was done during that time. Hourly fees range from 50 to 300 USD per hour, depending on which professional is assigned and their expertise in the field.
Do You Charge For Initial Consultation?
We do not. Please set up an appointment through our website Inquiry Form or give us a call so we can discuss your matter and determine how we can help. In most cases, before we begin to act for you, we will require a retainer (a monetary deposit for legal fees and expenses), which will be explained and discussed in the initial consultation.
What Should I Bring To Our First Consultation?
Please come with any documents that are relevant to your case (correspondence, certificates and licences, receipts, contracts, pictures, reports, official documentation…), a list of questions you may have, and preferably copies of the documents that you can leave with us. If you are unsure what may be relevant, kindly call us so that we can provide a specific list for you based on your case.
How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?
The statute of limitations varies between countries and the type of claim. Some types of claims have a shorter or longer time limit, and the exact nature of your claim will help us determine the applicable time limit. Kindly use the Inquiry Form to describe the nature of your claim, or contact us as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is filed within the time limit.
How Long Will My Case Take?
The legal process is not always straightforward, and proceedings for each case will be different, but we will keep you informed and ensure that we are prepared for every step along the way. During your initial consultation, we can provide a typical timeline for similar cases, and outline what you can expect in the process.
Will I Have To Go To Court
We have had tremendous success reaching settlements or plea agreements so that we can avoid legal battles in court. Depending on your case, there may be options we can take to achieve the desired outcome outside of a courtroom. Regardless of the route taken, we plan and strategise every case as if we expect a trial so that we are always prepared if necessary.
