We take it to court, to arbitration or to the negotiating table, and stay with it to the end.
We recover commercial debts in both directions: for creditors abroad with a debtor in Kenya, and for Kenyan creditors with a debtor in another country. We act in the Kenyan courts and work with counsel in the debtor's country.

Under section 167(1) of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, a bidder must file a request for review with the Review Board within 14 days of notification of the award, or of the breach complained of. Once that window closes, the Board will not hear the complaint, however strong it is.
Section 7 of the Arbitration Act allows a party to ask the High Court for an interim measure of protection before or during arbitral proceedings. We have used it to keep an asset in Kenya in a dispute subject to arbitration abroad.
Before a full grant can issue, the court can make a limited grant ad colligenda bona so that someone can collect and preserve the estate's property. Acting early can stop assets being sold, moved or wasted.
