Infrastructure, Energy and PPP Lawyers in Kenya

Infrastucture law kenya

We advise sponsors, financiers, and public authorities on the legal structuring, negotiation, and execution of major infrastructure projects across Kenya and the region.

If you’re developing an independent power project, negotiating a concession agreement under a PPP framework, or financing energy transmission infrastructure, our role is to de-risk the legal architecture and enable bankable outcomes.


Overview

Our scope spans project development and finance, construction and EPC contracting, land rights and compulsory acquisition, environmental permitting, and regulatory compliance across energy, transport, water, and ICT infrastructure.

In oil and gas, we assist with licensing, PSCs, midstream and downstream commercialization, local content regulation, and joint operating arrangements.

Our team is equally engaged at early-stage advisory — supporting bid consortia, conducting legal due diligence, and negotiating heads of terms — as we are in project execution and dispute prevention.

We act for project developers, governments, DFIs, energy companies, EPC contractors, and private equity players backing infrastructure at scale.


Why Us

We understand that infrastructure law isn’t about ticking compliance boxes — it’s about making complex, capital-heavy projects legally executable, financially viable, and politically resilient.

Clients trust us because we balance deal momentum with legal rigour. We speak the language of lenders, regulators, and engineering teams — aligning contracts with risk profiles, concession timelines, and financing tranches.

From PPPs and energy projects to cross-border infrastructure investments, we bring a legal strategy that holds at the policy, contract, and operational level.

If you’re structuring or executing a transformative infrastructure project in Kenya, we’re the legal counterpart you need.
