Resolution Isn't Always About Winning

Sometimes it's about restoring. Our Legal Aid & ADR practice exists to make sure that access to justice is not limited by income, and that disputes can be resolved in ways that preserve relationships and communities.

We work alongside Kenya's formal courts, recognized Alternative Justice Systems, and psychosocial support networks to provide a holistic approach to legal problems — because a legal issue is rarely just a legal issue.

Common Questions About Legal Aid & ADR

Legal aid is available to individuals who cannot afford legal representation, as well as to vulnerable groups including women, children, persons with disabilities, and survivors of gender-based violence. Matters of public interest may also qualify. Contact us to discuss your situation confidentially — there is no obligation.

Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps parties reach their own agreement — the mediator does not impose a decision. Arbitration is more formal: the arbitrator hears both sides and issues a binding decision. We help clients choose the right path based on their dispute and goals.

Kenya's Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) — recognized under the AJS Policy of 2020 — are customary, religious, or community-based justice mechanisms that operate alongside the formal court system. They are especially valuable in resolving family, land, and community disputes in culturally appropriate and restorative ways.

Yes — for qualifying clients and matters, our legal aid services are provided free of charge. We treat every request with confidentiality and dignity. If we cannot take on your matter directly, we will do our best to refer you to another provider or organization who can help.
