This disclaimer concerns information made available through this website. It is not a substitute for a written engagement agreement, and it does not reduce duties or responsibilities that apply to the firm under Kenyan law or professional rules.
01 / Coverage
What this disclaimer covers
This page applies to the website’s public content and features, including information about the firm and its practice areas, Insights articles and guides, consultation enquiry tools, and Counsel, the automated website assistant. It should be read with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
02 / Public resources
Website information is general
Articles, guides, practice-area descriptions, summaries and other public materials are provided for general information. They are not a legal opinion or advice tailored to your circumstances, and they may not address all relevant facts, exceptions or procedural requirements.
Reading or using a page does not replace speaking to a qualified Kenyan advocate about your own situation. Do not make, delay or abandon a legal decision, miss a deadline, or take procedural steps solely because of material on this website. If a matter is urgent or a deadline may apply, contact an advocate promptly.
03 / Instructions
When representation begins
Visiting the website, reading an article, using Counsel, sending a message or submitting a consultation request does not, by itself, mean that the firm has accepted instructions or agreed to represent you. The firm must consider the request and confirm whether it can act, subject to any required checks and agreed terms.
Do not assume that the firm is acting for you, monitoring a deadline or protecting your interests unless it has confirmed the engagement. If the firm agrees to act, the scope of work, fees and other terms will be addressed separately.
04 / Automated feature
Counsel is not an advocate
Counsel is an automated assistant for general information and navigation around the website. It does not represent you, give legal advice, assess your full case, decide whether the firm will take a matter, or replace review by an advocate.
Automated responses can be incomplete, incorrect, out of date or based on a misunderstanding. They may not reflect recent legal changes or the facts that determine how a rule applies. Check important information against current official sources and obtain advice from a qualified Kenyan advocate before acting.
Do not use Counsel for urgent assistance or rely on it to calculate or protect a filing date, limitation period, court appearance or other deadline. Do not enter confidential case details, identity numbers, passwords, financial account details or sensitive personal information in the chat. For information about how chat messages are handled, read our Privacy Policy.
05 / Current law
Law and information can change
Kenyan laws, regulations, court decisions, administrative guidance and procedures may change. Website material may not be updated immediately after a change and may not reflect a new decision, amendment or interpretation. The law that applies can also depend on jurisdiction, dates, documents and facts not available to us.
Where we refer to a statute, decision or public resource, consult the current official version and the full source. A short summary, quotation or link is not a substitute for reading the material relevant to your issue.
06 / Case-specific results
No outcome is promised
Every matter depends on its particular facts, evidence, applicable law, procedure and decisions by courts, tribunals, regulators or other parties. General descriptions of services or examples on the website are not a prediction or guarantee of the result, timing, cost or availability of a remedy in any individual matter.
Past experience or outcomes, if described, do not guarantee a similar result in another case.
07 / Communications
Messages and confidentiality
Please share only the information needed to request a consultation. Do not send original documents, passwords, full identity numbers or highly confidential material through public website forms or Counsel. Use an agreed, appropriate channel if the firm accepts your instructions and requests further documents.
Whether a communication is confidential or protected by legal professional privilege depends on the applicable law and the circumstances, including the relationship and purpose of the communication. A website message or chatbot conversation should not be assumed to be privileged. Nothing on this page is intended to waive a protection that applies by law.
08 / Other sources
External websites and resources
The website may link to external sources for reference or convenience. The firm does not control those sites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean the firm endorses the linked organisation or every statement on its site. You access third-party resources under their own terms.
09 / Legal limits
Responsibility and contact
We aim to keep the website useful and accurate, but cannot guarantee that every page is complete, current, uninterrupted or free of errors. To the extent permitted by law, the firm is not responsible for decisions made solely on the basis of general website information or automated responses.
This disclaimer does not exclude or limit a duty, liability or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. In particular, section 46(b) of the Advocates Act provides that an agreement relieving an advocate from professional negligence or other responsibility to which the advocate is subject is invalid. Nothing here changes the terms or duties applicable to an engagement accepted by the firm.
For a matter-specific enquiry, contact [email protected] or +254 704 000 717. The firm is at Karen, Tana House, 4th Floor, Suite 405, Nairobi, Kenya.
Relevant legislation: Advocates Act (Cap. 16) and Evidence Act (Cap. 80).
