Modern technology has helped businesses to increase the rate at which they develop and commercialize their innovations. At the same time, it has also made it possible for competitors to engage in acts of unfair competition on an unprecedented scale. Every business, from a manufacturer of heavy industrial equipment to a developer of mobile applications, generates valuable intellectual property (IP) that requires protection in an increasingly competitive global market place.  Our lawyers possess expertise in patents, trademarks, copyright, industrial designs and trade secrets. This expertise covers all aspects of registering, assigning, opposing, prosecuting, commercializing and enforcing intellectual rights including passing off claims. We are also specialists in franchising agreements and related claims.

In our ICT practice, our lawyers are competent in drafting technology contracts, such as software as a service agreements, IP licensing agreements, website & apps terms and conditions, website disclaimers and privacy and cookie policies. Our knowledge of data protection laws in Kenya and GDPR compliance makes our services all-encompassing and a combination of this practice has scaled our firm as a leading provider in e-commerce law. M&A also continues to engage with the emerging crypto currency and blockchain technology law and advises on contractual and regulation aspects.
