Introduction
Since our establishment in 1980, Nzamba Kitonga Advocates LLP has stood as a cornerstone of legal excellence and innovation. Founded by the late Mr. Nzamba Kitonga, S.C., a distinguished advocate and thought leader, our journey began as a specialized conveyancing practice serving corporate clients. Over the years, we have grown into a multi-departmental law firm offering comprehensive legal services to public and private corporations, state institutions, and individual clients.
Our commitment to tailored, practical, and value-driven solutions sets us apart as one of the most trusted law firms in Kenya. At Nzamba Kitonga Advocates LLP, we pride ourselves on delivering client-centric services that address the complex legal challenges of today’s dynamic business and regulatory environments.
