Asembo Co. Advocates, Commissioners for Oaths & Notaries Public

An Ivy League graduate of University of Nairobi, ROBERT J A. ASEMBO leads the Asembo & Co. Advocates Group. With a diverse practice and backgrounds, we practice civil litigation. We specialize in Real Estate and Conveyancing, Legal Consultative Services, Intellectual Property Law, Criminal and civil litigation, commercial law practice, especially banking and finance, public procurement, tax and conveyancing.

Our skilled attorneys are proud to offer a personal approach to commercial and individual clients. Much of what makes us a quality firm is our approach to the practice of law. Our clients know and trust their attorneys. We take the time to explain options and keep our clients updated as to the status of their case.

Mission Statement

“To deliver superior legal services through innovation and to provide exemplary representation through dedication to our clients and commitment to the highest ethical standards.”

Serving Your Needs

The hallmark of our service is our attention to the needs of our clients that goes beyond the standards of professional responsibility. When representation requires litigation, we are aggressive trial lawyers who are not afraid to fight to protect our clients’ rights. We have experienced trial attorneys with over 10 years’ combined experience who practice in a wide variety of legal matters. We also believe in reasonable plans and cooperation, so we adjust our representation to suit the needs of any particular client. A client who brings us a transactional matter can expect an honest and accurate appraisal of the matter and a resolution in the most practical, direct and economically feasible manner.

Hiring a lawyer can be difficult. What should you look for before hiring a lawyer? This is a question that has multiple answers. It really comes down to three things: Is the lawyer you are about to retain experienced in the area of law you need? Is the lawyer licensed to practice law? And, most importantly, do you feel comfortable with the attorney?
Since we know that these are the three most important issues when looking for an attorney, we have designed our practice to be your law firm for life! We are there for you in all of your real estate or business needs, and we have an attorney for your estate planning as well.
As you can see, we are not a law firm that thinks of a client as a number. We are a law firm that sees you as an individual and will be there for you. Our firm is dedicated to being there for you when you need us.
