Kaplan & Stratton is a premier Kenyan practice providing a comprehensive range of legal services and solutions for domestic and international clients. The firm has a reputation as one of the leading law firms in the East African region. The editorial notes for the 2003/2004 edition of the Chambers and Partners Guide to the World’s Leading Lawyers (over which the firm has no influence) say:
"The firm retains its leading status as the 'most reliable' choice for top corporates following overwhelming market commendation. Its strength resides in the high number of skilled lawyers in its team of 15 partners and 10 associates."
The firm was established in 1934. We are a stable partnership with a healthy age profile – the average age of the partners being less than 45. We have a total of 23 qualified lawyers and several para-legal staff. This makes us the largest legal firm in East Africa.
Kaplan & Stratton has a strong reputation for advice in corporate and commercial law, investment, banking, taxation and complex litigation and dispute resolution.
We offer a sophisticated and comprehensive service to our clients who range from domestic and international companies, banks, development finance agencies, and non-government organisations in all sectors of the economy. Our work covers business law, corporate finance, project finance, financial services, banking, capital markets, power, telecommunications, infrastructure, transport, manufacturing, tourism, agriculture and horticulture, beverage and other consumer products. We represent clients in litigation and provide dispute resolution advice in all of these areas. The firm also works as Kenyan counsel for many international law firms from Europe, North America and South Africa and their clients.
Whilst small by international standards we have arranged our practice in order to be able to provide teams of lawyers for large-scale transactions. Our transaction teams are led by experienced partners who stay closely involved in all aspects of our clients’ work.
Kaplan & Stratton was a founder member of Lex Africa, an association of independent firms across Africa. The firm is also the Kenya member for the global network of law firms Lex Mundi.
Our objective is to give high quality legal and commercial advice through an efficiently managed professional practice that will facilitate our clients’ business dealings in Kenya and elsewhere in the East African region.
Pupillage Requirements:
To be considered for pupillage, you must be eligible to be admitted as an advocate of the High Court of Kenya.
To qualify as an advocate you must, inter alia:
(i) Be a citizen of Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania.
(ii) Have passed the relevant examinations of your university and be conferred with a degree in law from a recognised university.
We would however advise that you get in touch with the Kenya School of Law in order to ascertain the specific current entry requirements.
You should apply in writing to the Council for Legal Education for admission to the Kenya School of Law. Admission to the school is for one year and the term starts in September. You will therefore need to apply well before then.
At Kaplan & Stratton pupillage is for two years. Pupils receive a small allowance during the pupillage period, and are allocated to both litigation and commercial departments so that they gain a rounded experience.
Interviews for pupillage take place in or about June each year for a September intake. You should apply to us well before then as competition for places is stiff.
Pupillage applications should be addressed to the Pupillage Partner and must comprise your Curriculum Vitae and a covering letter in your own handwriting. Your CV should include:
(i) Full name
(ii) Date of birth
(iii) Marital / family status
(iv) Citizenship
(v) Education giving grades attained (do not include certificates until requested)
(vi) Work experience
(vii) Other relevant experience: (university positions, voluntary work, etc).
