Firm Overview:
Founded in 1954, ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna has consistently been ranked as a top firm by leading global ranking agencies. The firm combines a global perspective with local expertise to help clients navigate new territories and capitalise on future opportunities.With over 100 lawyers we have expanded our footprint to Tanzania and the UAE, making us the first African firm to be licensed in UAE. Along the way we have established trusted partnerships with our clients, working alongside them as an extension of their own businesses to guide and advise.
In response to the market and as more clients asked us to take care of cross-border deals, in 2004 we founded ALN, an integrated alliance of the preeminent full-service corporate law firms in 14 African countries, to give us the agility and expertise to operate locally and across the pan African business and economic environment.
