Nairobi · Commercial & Trade Law
Trusted counsel for commerce across borders. Where Kenyan enterprise meets global trade.
About the Founder
In the course of my career over the past 10 years, I've watched the same pattern repeat itself: capable businesses — from ambitious startups to established enterprises — struggling to find counsel that is both genuinely expert and genuinely human. Most arrive at our door already worn down, having spent sleepless nights wrestling with compliance deadlines, contract disputes, or regulatory hurdles that were never insurmountable to begin with.
The issue is rarely the law. It is the absence of structure around it — and of someone willing to translate complexity into a clear path forward.
I founded Osur Akinyi & Associates to change that posture. With the right expertise, the right resources, and a commitment to straight communication, even the heaviest legal matters become manageable. Our role is to carry that weight — so our clients can put theirs back into running their business.
How We Work
Rapid turnaround grounded in deep expertise. We move fast because we know the terrain — never because we cut corners.
We prioritise the legal work that has the greatest impact on your business outcomes — not the work that fills a timesheet.
Before we advise, we listen. We invest the time to understand your business, your industry, and what keeps you up at night.
Specialist knowledge delivered with commercial reality in mind. No ivory-tower opinions — just clear, actionable guidance.
