Two tracks. One question: what do you need protected?
Most legal problems for founders and tech organizations fall into one of two categories — exposure at the company level, or vulnerability at the founder level. The advisory is structured accordingly.

For companies and products
Tech Policy & Startup Law
When your product, data, or technology faces legal exposure.
This track is about your company's legal surface — the contracts you sign, the data you collect, the IP you build, and the regulations you must navigate. It's about protecting what you've built from the outside in.
The Problem
Technology moves fast. Law moves slow. The gap between them is where most startups get exposed — through poor IP protection, weak contracts, or data privacy violations they didn't know they were committing. By the time it surfaces, it's expensive.
The Solution
Legal advisory specifically for technology companies and startups — helping you map and reduce your legal exposure before it finds you. This includes tech policy research where your sector needs it.
Process
- 01Legal audit of current structure and exposure

For founders and entrepreneurs
Founder Legal
When the legal decisions are about you — not just your company.
This track is about the founder as a person — how you structure your ownership, protect your equity, navigate tax decisions, and set up governance that doesn't come back to haunt you. It's inside-out: your rights, your risks, your future.
The Problem
Most founders treat legal structure as paperwork. Wrong company type, informal equity arrangements, no vesting, unclear tax positions — these aren't administrative oversights. They determine how much of what you build you actually keep.
The Solution
Helping founders make sound legal decisions at the right time — from the first day of incorporation through to fundraising readiness. The focus is always on what this decision means for you, not just the entity.
Process
- 01Founder situation assessment
- 02Structure and incorporation advisory
- 03Equity split and vesting design
- 04Co-founder agreement drafting
- 05Tax structuring guidance
- 06Governance framework setup
- 07Fundraising legal readiness check

Common questions.
What's the difference between the two tracks?
Tech Policy & Startup Law protects your company and product — IP, contracts, data, regulation. Founder Legal protects you as a person — your equity, structure, tax position, and governance rights. Some clients need both; many start with one.
Do you work with clients outside Kenya?
Yes. Based in Nairobi, I work across East Africa and internationally. Most sessions are via Google Meet.
What does a typical engagement look like?
It starts with a discovery call, followed by a scoped engagement based on your specific needs. Some clients engage for a single strategy session; others retain ongoing support.
Are you a practising advocate?
I hold a Bachelor of Laws and advise at a strategic level. For formal legal representation or filing, I refer to practising advocates within my network.
