Our experience spans various sectors within Kenya including energy and transport sectors which currently have most of the large scale infrastructure projects within Kenya driven by the Government’s development agenda which has adopted a public private partnership approach for its infrastructure projects. Our projects practice has remained a leading choice for private parties in complex projects transactions and we have undertaken many substantial project development and finance assignments primarily as advisers to private sponsors and lenders with growing focus on PPP projects in Kenya.
Independent reviews have stated that our project development team is “A top choice for international clients seeking advice on the domestic aspects of numerous project sponsorships and investments, with a solid reputation in renewable energy, mining and transport infrastructure mandates. Also highly adept in big-ticket energy M&A work, including renewables and oil and gas.”
