Legal Support for Kenya's Energy & Infrastructure Sectors
Our Energy & Infrastructure practice advises project sponsors, investors, lenders, contractors, and government entities on legal matters arising in Kenya's rapidly developing energy and infrastructure sectors. We cover the full range of energy sub-sectors including power generation, transmission and distribution, renewable energy, oil and gas, and mining, as well as transport, water, and social infrastructure.
Kenya's energy and infrastructure sectors are undergoing significant transformation, driven by Vision 2030, the Big Four Agenda, and increasing private sector participation through public-private partnerships. Our team understands the complex legal, regulatory, and commercial frameworks that govern these sectors and provides the strategic counsel needed to navigate them successfully.
We advise on all stages of energy and infrastructure projects — from regulatory licensing and project structuring through to financing, construction, and operations. Our cross-practice capability allows us to draw on expertise in project finance, real estate, construction, and regulatory compliance to deliver integrated legal solutions for complex projects.
