Common Questions About Litigation

The duration of litigation in Kenya varies depending on the complexity of the case, court schedules, and other factors. Simple cases may be resolved within 6-12 months, while more complex disputes can take several years. Our team works efficiently to move cases forward while exploring opportunities for early resolution through settlement or alternative dispute resolution methods.

Alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation and arbitration often provide faster, more cost-effective, and less adversarial solutions compared to traditional litigation. ADR processes are typically confidential, allow for more flexible solutions, and help preserve business relationships. However, litigation may be necessary when immediate court intervention is required or when the other party is unwilling to negotiate in good faith.

The cost of litigation depends on various factors including the complexity of the case, the amount in dispute, the duration of the proceedings, and the legal strategies employed. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a transparent fee structure and discuss different payment options, which may include hourly rates, fixed fees for specific services, or in some cases, contingency fee arrangements where appropriate.

If you've been served with legal papers, it's crucial to act promptly. Note the deadline for responding (usually 14 days in Kenya) and contact our litigation team immediately. Do not ignore the documents or delay in seeking legal advice, as this could result in a default judgment against you. Bring all documents you've received to your initial consultation, and avoid discussing the case with the opposing party until you've consulted with an attorney.
