A knock out legal team!
Nairobi-based KO Associates LLP | Citadel Law Africa was thrilled to be shortlisted for the Specialist Law Firm of the Year Award at the 2021 African Legal Awards.
Their consistent top quality service to clients has led to this being the third consecutive year they’ve been finalists in this category which they won in 2020. That accolade was based on them advising clients on “a wide range of large scale infrastructure projects including public private partnerships, transaction advisory, joint ventures structuring, project financing, infrastructure development and privatization, legal due diligence and institutional and governance design.”
The firm’s strength is proved by the fact that IFLR 1000, the guide to the world’s leading financial and corporate law firms, has listed them as one of the top legal firms in Kenya in three categories, namely: Corporate & Financial Services, Project Development –Infrastructure and Project Development – Power.
According to IFLR1000, “The firm is distinctively international in its outlook and approach and advises the world’s leading companies and financial institutions on their most complex matters in Africa.”
KO Associates LLP specialises in four broad practice areas: corporate & finance, technology, project development (in energy and infrastructure) and dispute resolution. Their specialist knowledge is driven by the high calibre of senior lawyers and strong ties within Kenya infrastructure and technology sectors that are essential to providing a seamless way forward when completing a transaction.
The firm’s expertise in these areas is highly appreciated in the five East African countries in which it operates – Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
The firm’s Partners Stephen Kiptinness and Crispine Odhiambo were also ranked as Highly Regarded in the IFLR 1000’s Financial and Corporate Law Rankings Kenya, 2021-2022. They have steered the firm into offering timely, practical and innovative legal solutions to clients in their areas of expertise, with the accolades garnered certainly show they’re hitting the target!
