About the firm
Sound counsel, clearly given.
Northstar Advocates & Legal Consultants is a contemporary Kenyan law firm that combines rigorous legal work with clear communication and practical advice.
Who we are
A firm built around considered advice.
We advise individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, and organisations on matters that often carry real consequences: a significant contract, a property purchase, a workplace issue, a family situation, or a dispute that needs resolving.
Our clients come to us for legal expertise, but they also want to understand their position. We take the time to explain the issues, the options, and the trade-offs in plain language, so that the decisions they make are informed ones.
We aim to be established in our standards, composed in how we work, and approachable to the people we advise.
Our mission
“To provide thoughtful, practical legal guidance that helps clients understand their options and navigate important decisions with greater clarity.”
Our values
The principles behind our work.

- Preparation
- We approach each matter with care, attention to detail, and an understanding of its relevant circumstances.
- Communication
- We aim to keep clients informed about progress, decisions, and next steps.
- Practical Perspective
- We consider the client's broader objectives when evaluating legal options and recommending a course of action.
Client relationships
How we work with the people we advise.
We listen before we advise
The first conversation is about understanding your circumstances, your priorities, and what a good outcome looks like for you.
We are clear about scope and fees
Before an engagement begins, we explain what we will do, what we will need from you, and how fees will be charged.
We explain, not just conclude
We set out our reasoning so you can understand the advice and weigh it against your own knowledge of the situation.
We are candid
If a matter has weaknesses or a course of action carries significant risk, we will tell you directly.
Professional standards
Our commitment to doing things properly.
Legal practice carries professional obligations. We take them seriously, and they shape how we accept and handle every matter.
- Confidentiality in how we handle information and discuss client matters
- Conflict checks before accepting an engagement
- Accepting matters only where we have the appropriate expertise and capacity
- Honest communication about risks, likely costs, and timeframes
- Careful supervision and review of work

Sample profiles
Every important decision deserves careful consideration.
If you need legal guidance, start by telling us a little about your matter. We'll help you understand the appropriate next steps.
Submitting an enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship. We will confirm whether we are able to assist after reviewing your enquiry, including a conflict check.
