Kenya

Africa

Kenya is the largest and most advanced economy in East and Central Africa. With its strategic geographic location, well established infrastructure and strong entrepreneurial and innovative spirit, it has fast become the key financial, communication and transport hub in the East African region. A relatively stable political and macroeconomic environment and a burgeoning urban middle class are continuing to attract both local and international investment into Kenya.

CMS Daly Inamdar Advocates (CMS DI) is the merged firm of Daly & Figgis, Advocates and Inamdar & Inamdar, Advocates, two of the oldest legal practices in Kenya, who have provided a comprehensive range of professional legal services to clients in Kenya and abroad.
