Construction Law & Disputes Lawyers in Kenya
Kenya's construction sector is a major driver of economic growth, but it also generates complex legal disputes. From contract negotiation to project delivery and beyond, construction projects involve multiple parties, significant financial exposure, and intricate legal frameworks including the National Construction Authority Act, county building regulations, and the Environmental Management and Coordination Act.
LHK Advocates advises employers, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants on all aspects of construction law. We draft and negotiate construction contracts (including FIDIC, JBC, and bespoke forms), advise on National Construction Authority compliance, manage payment disputes, and resolve construction-related claims through adjudication, arbitration, and litigation.
Our construction practice understands the commercial realities of the building industry and provides advice that is practical and project-focused. We work to prevent disputes through clear contracts and proactive risk management, and when disputes arise, we resolve them efficiently to minimize disruption to the project.
