Profile

Founded in 1899, D&F is Kenya’s oldest legal practice and a leading full service law firm based in Nairobi, specializing in corporate and commercial law, property law and dispute resolution.

We are delighted that D&F consistently wins high praise from objective observers, being consistently ranked among the country’s leading law firms by various international legal ranking organizations and publications.

Whilst the firm does not maintain any office outside Nairobi,it has, over the years, developed good relationships with leading law firms located in other jurisdictions both within the East African region, the African continent and the rest of the world.

Throughout our history, we have been at the leading edge of Kenyan law, having worked on many of the biggest and highest profile transactions in the region. As a result, we have developed a near-instinctive understanding of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing those doing business in Kenya.

In terms of the quality and scope of our legal and commercial expertise, we have particular strengths in a number of fields, including capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, financing, and dispute resolution. But, as you will see, we have talented and well regarded lawyers, dedicated to delivering the very highest standards of service across all our practice areas.
