Mohammed Muigai LLP

What Mohammed Muigai LLP does

Mohammed Muigai LLP (also marketed as "MM Chambers") is a Nairobi-based limited liability partnership providing full-service legal advisory and dispute resolution services, founded in 1989 and operating continuously for over 35 years under the Mohammed Muigai brand. The firm is structured as a privately held partnership with 10 partners and approximately 27 fee earners (10 partners plus 17 associates) supported by legal assistants and administrative staff, for a total headcount of 64. Its governance team comprises two Senior Partners — Prof. Githu Muigai, EGH, SC (former Attorney General of the Republic of Kenya, 2011-2018) and Mohammed Nyaoga, EBS, SC — alongside Managing Partner Geoffrey Imende and Deputy Managing Partner Emmanuel Wetang'ula. The firm is also doing business as "MM Chambers" and continues active under Nairobi registration, with no subsidiaries, parent entities or external institutional investors.

The firm operates through four core practice groups: (1) Dispute Resolution Practice (litigation before domestic and international courts, arbitration, mediation, constitutional, commercial, civil, tax, IP and media law disputes); (2) Banking, Finance and Real Estate Practice (project structuring, due diligence, bank securitisation, REITs, syndicated lending); (3) Consultancy and Legal Advisory Practice (legal audits, institutional reform, legislative process participation for government, donors and private organisations); and (4) Corporate and Commercial Transactions Practice (due diligence, restructurings, public listings, asset sales, corporate governance, compliance and regulatory advisory). A secondary product is the "In Chambers" podcast series, featuring partner-led discussions used for content marketing and brand building. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or API; the firm's technology footprint is limited to standard productivity tooling, a WordPress-based website, and content distribution via LinkedIn and Twitter.

Mohammed Muigai LLP generates revenue through professional services fees billed on an hourly or per-matter basis across litigation, arbitration, corporate transactions, advisory and consultancy mandates. Pricing is quote-based, non-public, and tied to matter complexity and seniority of counsel. The client base is corporate and institutional across the finance, insurance, energy, infrastructure and technology sectors, with secondary activity in litigation and dispute resolution use-cases. The firm's geographic footprint centres on Kenya and East Africa, with cross-border engagements referenced (including a team role in a US$2 billion LCIA investment arbitration). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the firm has not raised external funding.
