In their own right, the three predecessor firms had grown steadily in both size and expertise so that in less than a decade since their formation they had become well established in the legal practice field in Kenya.

A team known for being meticulous, hardworking, ethical and professional.

Informed by the changing needs of our clients we recently changed from being a traditional partnership (Ochieng, Onyango, Kibet & Ohaga Advocates) to become a (Limited Liability Partnership), LLP (TripleOlaw Advocates).

 We are firm believers in the power of innovation in making business easier and more efficient.To that end we have meeting rooms enabling quick consultations as well as large conference rooms with audio and video equipment. Our Firm also benefits from a fully computerized law library and has invested heavily in information technology.

Working in a competitive work environment, we also offer a specialist independent advisory and advocacy referral service.

VALUES: We are a firm that is guided by a promise. A promise to ourselves and to our clients that we will not only deliver the services they need but go an extra mile to meet their unspoken needs too.
