Kenya

The Counsel gives advocates and law firms in Kenya one secure place for matters, clients, court dates, documents, tasks and the team, so the whole firm works from the same record.

For firms in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and across Kenya.

Each matter is numbered, given a status and a lead advocate, and keeps its documents, notes, tasks and full history together. Mentions, hearings and rulings sit on one shared calendar, with reminders to everyone on the matter the day before.

Firms with more than one office can scope members and matters to a branch, while partners still see the whole practice.

  • Supreme Court and Court of Appeal
  • High Court
  • Employment and Labour Relations Court
  • Environment and Land Court
  • Magistrates’ Courts
  • Tribunals and arbitration

Security

Firm data isolated at the database level, with a full audit log.

Every part of The Counsel works for firms in this country today: clients, matters, documents, hearings, tasks, staff, HR and reports. One thing is still on the way: subscriptions and the invoices you raise in The Counsel are in Nigerian naira for now, with Kenyan shillings coming. Until then, firms that bill clients in Kenyan shillings usually run everything else in The Counsel and keep invoicing in their current tool.

Each firm’s data in The Counsel is isolated at the database level, access is controlled by role, and every action is recorded in an audit log, which supports a firm’s own obligations under Kenya’s Data Protection Act.

Can firms in Kenya sign up?

Yes. Kenyan firms can sign up today and use every module on a free 30-day trial.

Can I invoice clients in shillings?

Not yet. Invoices in The Counsel are in naira for now, with Kenyan shillings on the way. Everything else works fully.

Does it support firms with several offices?

Also for firms in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, and across Africa.
