OUR REGIONAL ADVANTAGE

From our roots in Kenya, we pride ourselves on an identity anchored in Africa and a pioneering spirit. The GVA network of today includes 13 associates regularly working on cross-border transactions. With the Head office in Nairobi and branches in Mombasa & Nanyuki, we further remain closely connected to a wider network of best-in-class friends in the African region and across continents.

In the areas where we operate, our locally qualified leading lawyers have significant on-the-ground experience and have developed close working relationships with relevant local authorities over the years. This enables us to provide our clients with invaluable perspectives to navigate the challenging and evolving business, legal and political landscape.

For other markets, we have long-standing and close working relationships with law firms who are leaders in their respective jurisdictions or specialization areas. This provides our clients with the flexibility to harness the best lawyers with the requisite specialist knowledge and expertise. Our clients are therefore assured of receiving the best legal advice tailored and suited to the specific needs of the matter.

We also take an active lead or transaction counsel role on cross-border matters involving assets in multiple jurisdictions. We help coordinate advice from foreign counsel to provide our clients with integrated, seamless and premium legal advice on regional matters.
