Nduta Ngari & Associates advises individuals, entrepreneurs, and institutions across the full life of a business and its assets — formation, property, financing, governance, and the regulators in between. One firm, one continuous relationship.
Nduta Ngari & Associates is a Kenyan advocacy practice built to carry a client from the first decision to the last signature. We form and structure businesses, move property transactions to registration, arrange and secure financing, and keep institutions compliant with the regulators that govern them — without handing a file between departments along the way.
We work across the questions that sit around every transaction: how to structure a partnership, what a lender will require, what a regulator expects, and what happens if things change. One continuous engagement, not a series of separate instructions.
Advice you can act on, in language you don't need a law degree to read. If the honest answer is "don't do this," that's the advice you'll get.
Your file isn't passed between juniors and departments. The advocate you brief is the advocate who does the work — and answers your calls.
A transaction rarely lives alone. We look at what sits around it — tax, compliance, succession — before it becomes next year's problem.
Incorporation, business name registration, and entity structuring for new ventures — with the structural advice that should come before the filing, not after. We handle name reservation, drafting, filing, and post-incorporation compliance as one piece of work.
Partnership agreements, LLP formation, shareholder arrangements, and joint venture structuring — drafted around how you actually intend to run the business, with clear exit and dispute mechanics agreed while everyone's still getting along.
Sale and lease agreements, land searches and due diligence, consents, and registration — for residential, commercial, and off-plan transactions. We act for purchasers, vendors, landlords, tenants, and developers.
Security documentation, charge preparation, undertakings, and transaction support for bank-financed acquisitions and developments — on both the lender and borrower side of the table.
Governance structuring, board advisory, and regulatory guidance for companies, SACCOs, and deposit-taking institutions — keeping you ahead of the regulator rather than responding to it.
Compliance audits, registration with the ODPC, policy drafting, and complaint handling under the Data Protection Act, 2019 — for organisations building compliance and individuals whose rights have been breached.
Drafting, review, and negotiation of the agreements a business runs on — supply, service, distribution, agency, NDAs, and terms of engagement — written to be enforced, not just signed.
Employment contracts, HR policy drafting, disciplinary process guidance, and dispute support — for employers building compliant workplaces and employees protecting their rights.
Negotiated settlement, mediation, and litigation support across commercial and property disputes — with a candid early view on whether fighting is worth it, and what winning would actually cost.
Wills, estate administration, and succession planning for individuals and families — so that what you've built passes the way you intended, without leaving disputes behind.
This reflects our core caseload — most instructions extend into adjacent areas as a matter naturally requires. If you're unsure whether a matter fits, ask. If we can't handle it directly, we'll tell you plainly and point you to someone who can.
Legal work shouldn't feel like a black box. Here's exactly what happens when you bring us a matter.
A consultation where we understand what you're trying to achieve — not just the document you think you need. You leave knowing the options, the risks, and the realistic cost before committing to anything.
We do the work — drafting, filing, negotiating, registering — and keep you informed in plain language at every stage. No surprises in the work, and none on the invoice.
The matter concludes with everything properly registered, filed, and handed over. And because most legal needs recur, we stay available for what comes next — you'll never have to re-explain your history.
A plain-language comparison for founders deciding how to structure a new venture — and the mistake that's expensive to unwind later.
ConveyancingA short checklist on searches, consents, and clauses worth reading twice before a deposit changes hands.
Data ProtectionHow to recognise a breach, and the practical route to filing a complaint with the ODPC.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else — just ask.
It depends on the matter, but you'll always know before we start. After the first consultation we give you a clear fee estimate — and if the scope changes along the way, we tell you before the cost does.
Yes. We take instructions from across Kenya. Most matters — registrations, drafting, searches, filings — are handled electronically, and where physical attendance is needed, we arrange it.
With documents in order, name reservation through to a Certificate of Incorporation typically takes a matter of days through the Business Registration Service. The structural decisions before filing are where the real time is well spent — and where we add the most value.
That's exactly what the first consultation is for. You'll leave with a clear picture of your options, risks, and likely costs — and no obligation to instruct us afterwards.
Ask anyway. Most instructions touch several areas, and if a matter genuinely needs a specialist we don't have, we'll tell you plainly and connect you to someone we trust.
