Awele Jackson Advocates LLP

Public And Constitutional Law

The dispute resolution team has been acknowledged as leading practitioners in the country in challenging the legality of actions by public bodies in Kenya or by international entities whose decisions directly or indirectly affect a local entity or private person.  

Administrative and Public Law covers a range of specialist work, reflecting the different ways in which the Government impacts on the lives of citizens. Our team’s expertise in this area is self evident in the number of precedent setting decisions we have been involved in as counsel on a wide range of issues. A vast majority of our experience is in challenging administrative and legislative decisions of state agencies vertically and horizontally at both the national and county level of government.

We regularly appear in leading public law cases in the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and the High Court as well as in numerous other fora where key public law issues arise.

Considering the potential debilitating consequences of an actualized threat to constitutional rights, our team of dedicated and experienced team is always available at short notice to take on urgent representation and prides itself on dealing with emergency situations that require urgent remedial intervention of the courts.

Our expertise in this area include:

  • Election Petitions involving Members of County Assemblies, Members of Parliament, Gubernatorial and Presidential election petitions.
  • Constitutional petitions on any threat to or violation of the constitution and human rights
  • Judicial review
