Who we are
A dedicated advocate who knows your matter by name.
JB Otieno & Co Advocates is a boutique law firm in the heart of Nairobi's CBD. We deliberately keep our practice personal — when you instruct us, your matter is handled by the proprietor himself.
That means plain-English advice, direct access to your advocate, and a relationship built on trust. We combine the rigour of a large firm with the warmth and accountability you only get when one person owns your outcome.
