What Clients Need to Know

At Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates, we are committed to providing clear, professional, and client-focused legal support. This section explains what you need to know when contacting our firm, preparing for a consultation, providing documents, and working with our legal team.

1. BEFORE YOU CONTACT US

When making an enquiry, provide a clear summary of your legal matter and the assistance you require. Where possible, include the relevant dates, parties involved, important events, and any immediate deadlines.

Providing accurate information from the outset helps us understand your enquiry and determine the appropriate next step.

2. PREPARING FOR YOUR CONSULTATION

Before your consultation, gather documents and information relevant to your matter. These may include:

Identification documents
Contracts and agreements
Court documents or notices
Property documents
Employment records
Correspondence and official communications
Previous legal documents or agreements
Any other records relevant to your matter

Only provide documents that are relevant to your legal concern and ensure the information supplied is accurate and complete.

3. WHAT TO EXPECT

During an initial consultation, you will have an opportunity to explain your circumstances and discuss the legal issues affecting you. Our advocates may ask questions, review relevant information, identify key legal considerations, and explain the available options.

The appropriate course of action will depend on the facts, documents, legal requirements, and circumstances of each matter.

4. PROVIDING ACCURATE INFORMATION

Clients should provide complete and truthful information about their matter, including facts that may appear unfavourable. Withholding relevant information can affect the assessment and handling of a legal matter.

If new information or documents become available, inform the firm as soon as reasonably possible.

5. CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Effective communication is important throughout a legal matter. Clients should:

Provide accurate contact information
Respond to requests for information promptly
Forward relevant notices and correspondence
Inform the firm of important developments
Notify the firm of changes to contact details
Keep copies of documents submitted to the firm

Where a matter involves a deadline or scheduled proceeding, prompt communication is particularly important.

6. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Clients are expected to cooperate with the firm and provide the information and documentation reasonably required to handle their matter. Clients should also follow agreed procedures, attend scheduled appointments or proceedings where required, and raise questions when they need clarification.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

Understanding Legal Fees and Legal Costs

At Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates, we believe clients should have a clear understanding of the financial considerations involved in obtaining legal services. Legal fees vary depending on the nature, complexity, value, urgency, and scope of a matter, as well as the professional work required.

Our fee arrangements are guided by the applicable legal and professional requirements in Kenya and the specific circumstances of each client’s matter.

1. HOW LEGAL FEES ARE DETERMINED

There is no single fee applicable to every legal matter. The appropriate professional fee may depend on several factors, including:

The nature and complexity of the legal matter
The value or subject matter involved
The amount of documentation requiring review or preparation
The time and professional attention required
Negotiations with other parties
Court appearances or other proceedings
Urgency and applicable deadlines
The number of issues or parties involved
Additional work arising during the course of the matter

The applicable fee structure will depend on the specific legal instructions given to the firm.

2. INITIAL CONSULTATIONS

An initial consultation allows you to explain your circumstances and obtain preliminary guidance on the legal issues involved.

Depending on the nature and circumstances of the enquiry, a consultation may attract a professional fee. Clients are encouraged to confirm the applicable consultation arrangements before attending an appointment.

A consultation does not automatically create an advocate-client relationship or constitute an agreement for the firm to undertake further work.

3. PROFESSIONAL LEGAL FEES

Professional legal fees relate to the legal work undertaken by the advocate on behalf of a client. Depending on the matter, this may include:

Legal consultations and advice
Drafting and reviewing legal documents
Contract preparation and review
Legal correspondence
Negotiations
Property and commercial transactions
Court representation
Legal research and preparation
Dispute resolution
Other professional work specifically instructed by the client

The applicable professional fee will depend on the nature and scope of the work required.

4. DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER COSTS

Professional legal fees are distinct from certain expenses that may arise while handling a matter. These expenses, commonly referred to as disbursements, may be payable in addition to professional fees.

Depending on the matter, they may include:

Court filing fees
Official search fees
Registration charges
Government or statutory fees
Process server expenses
Document certification or related charges
Valuation or professional third-party costs
Other necessary transaction or litigation expenses

Where applicable, clients will be informed about relevant disbursements and third-party costs associated with their matter.

5. FEE AGREEMENTS AND PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

The firm may establish an appropriate fee arrangement based on the nature and requirements of the matter. Clients should understand the agreed scope of work, applicable professional fees, payment requirements, and anticipated additional expenses before proceeding.

Where a formal fee agreement, engagement letter, fee note, or other written arrangement applies, its terms will govern the relevant fee and payment obligations.

6. PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES

Clients are responsible for settling professional fees and applicable expenses in accordance with the agreed payment terms.

Payment requirements may differ depending on the nature and stage of the matter. Some matters may require payment before specific work begins, while others may be handled under an agreed payment arrangement.

Clients should retain appropriate records of payments and refer to the applicable invoice, fee note, receipt, or written payment terms.

7. CHANGES TO THE SCOPE OF WORK

Legal matters can develop after instructions have been given. New information, additional documents, further negotiations, additional parties, court proceedings, applications, appeals, or other developments may increase the work required.

If the scope of work changes materially, the resulting professional fees or expenses may also change. Where practicable, clients will be informed of significant changes before additional work is undertaken.

8. COURT AND LITIGATION MATTERS

Litigation can involve multiple stages and may require different forms of professional work as a matter progresses. Costs may therefore be affected by pleadings, applications, hearings, mentions, negotiations, evidence, interlocutory proceedings, judgment, enforcement, or an appeal.

The anticipated cost of litigation should be discussed with the firm based on the circumstances and stage of the particular matter.

9. PROPERTY AND COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS

Property transactions, conveyancing, and commercial matters may involve professional fees together with separate statutory, registration, search, valuation, documentation, or transaction-related costs.

The overall cost will depend on the transaction, its value, documentation, due diligence requirements, and work required to complete the matter.

10. QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR LEGAL FEES

If you have a question about a consultation fee, invoice, fee note, payment arrangement, professional charge, or additional expense, please contact our office for clarification.

Addressing fee questions early helps ensure that clients understand the financial arrangements applicable to their matter.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The information on this page is provided for general guidance and does not constitute a quotation, fee agreement, or binding representation of the cost of any particular legal matter.

Legal fees and related expenses depend on the circumstances of each matter and the applicable professional and legal requirements in Kenya. Clients should obtain clarification on the applicable fee arrangement before instructing the firm to undertake specific legal work.

A Clear Guide to the Legal Process

At Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates, we understand that legal matters can be unfamiliar and complex. Knowing what happens at each stage can help you prepare properly, make informed decisions, and work effectively with your advocate.

Every legal matter is different. The process may vary depending on the nature of the issue, applicable law, urgency, documentation, parties involved, and the legal route required. The steps below provide a general guide to how a legal matter may progress.

STEP 1: MAKE AN INITIAL ENQUIRY

Tell Us About Your Legal Matter

The process begins when you contact Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates with an enquiry. At this stage, provide a concise but accurate description of the issue and explain the assistance you require.

Useful information may include:

The nature of the legal issue
The people or organisations involved
Important dates and events
Any existing deadlines
Previous actions taken
Relevant documents or correspondence
Any immediate concern requiring attention

Providing accurate information from the beginning helps establish the nature of your enquiry and determine the appropriate next step.

STEP 2: ARRANGE AN INITIAL CONSULTATION

Discuss Your Circumstances With an Advocate

Where appropriate, an initial consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your matter in greater detail.

You may explain the circumstances, ask questions, provide relevant documents, and identify your desired outcome. The advocate may ask additional questions to clarify facts, identify potential legal issues, and understand the circumstances surrounding the matter.

A consultation may also help determine whether further investigation, documentation, legal research, or formal representation is required.

STEP 3: PROVIDE RELEVANT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS

Give the Firm the Information Required

The quality of legal guidance often depends on the information available to the advocate. Clients should provide relevant documents and disclose material facts accurately and completely.

Depending on the matter, these may include:

Contracts and agreements
Identification documents
Court documents and notices
Property records
Employment documents
Official correspondence
Receipts and transaction records
Previous legal correspondence
Other documents relevant to the matter

If additional documents are required, the firm may request them as the matter progresses.

STEP 4: ASSESS THE LEGAL MATTER

Understand the Facts, Risks, and Available Options

The advocate assesses the information provided to establish the legal issues and determine the appropriate approach.

This assessment may involve reviewing documents, researching applicable law, considering evidence, identifying procedural requirements, assessing potential risks, and examining the available legal options.

The objective is to develop a clear understanding of the matter before substantive legal action is undertaken.

STEP 5: RECEIVE LEGAL ADVICE AND DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS

Understand the Appropriate Way Forward

Following assessment, the advocate may explain the relevant legal position and discuss the options available to you.

Depending on the circumstances, these options may include:

Taking no immediate legal action
Negotiating with another party
Sending formal legal correspondence
Entering into an agreement or settlement
Pursuing mediation
Proceeding to arbitration
Commencing or defending court proceedings
Taking another legally appropriate course of action

The recommended approach depends on the facts, applicable law, available evidence, your objectives, and the circumstances of the matter.

STEP 6: GIVE FORMAL INSTRUCTIONS

Confirm the Legal Work You Require

If you decide to proceed, the firm may require formal instructions before undertaking specific legal work.

The scope of representation may be established through an engagement letter, written instructions, fee agreement, or other appropriate documentation.

This stage helps clarify:

The legal work to be undertaken
The scope of representation
Client responsibilities
Applicable professional fees
Payment arrangements
Relevant terms of engagement

Clients should raise any questions about the proposed engagement before confirming their instructions.

STEP 7: PREPARE AND DEVELOP THE MATTER

Undertake the Required Legal Work

Once instructions are confirmed, the firm undertakes the agreed work.

Depending on the nature of the matter, this may involve legal research, drafting documents, reviewing agreements, conducting due diligence, preparing pleadings, preparing evidence, issuing correspondence, negotiating with other parties, or undertaking other legal work.

The scope of preparation will depend on the specific matter and the legal route being pursued.

STEP 8: TAKE THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION

Proceed Through the Relevant Legal Route

The matter may then proceed through the appropriate legal or transactional process.

For disputes, this may involve negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings. For transactions, it may involve due diligence, drafting, execution, completion, registration, or other required procedures.

Where court proceedings are necessary, the matter may involve pleadings, applications, mentions, hearings, evidence, submissions, judgment, enforcement, or other procedural stages.

Not every matter follows all of these stages.

STEP 9: MONITOR PROGRESS AND RESPOND TO DEVELOPMENTS

Keep Your Matter Moving

Legal matters may change as new information, documents, decisions, or developments arise. The firm may communicate important updates and request additional instructions or information when necessary.

Clients should:

Respond to requests within reasonable timelines
Provide documents when requested
Notify the firm of significant developments
Attend appointments or proceedings where required
Inform the firm of changes to contact details
Ask for clarification when they do not understand a particular step

Timely communication can help prevent unnecessary delays.

STEP 10: RESOLUTION AND COMPLETION

Bring the Matter to an Appropriate Conclusion

A legal matter may conclude in different ways depending on its nature.

A dispute may be resolved through settlement, mediation, arbitration, judgment, withdrawal, or another appropriate outcome. A transaction may conclude after the required documents, payments, approvals, registrations, or completion requirements have been finalised.

The outcome of a legal matter cannot always be predicted in advance and may depend on courts, government agencies, opposing parties, third parties, evidence, and other circumstances.

STEP 11: CLOSING THE MATTER

Finalise Outstanding Requirements

Once the agreed legal work has been completed, the firm may take steps to formally conclude the engagement.

This may involve finalising documents, communicating the outcome, providing relevant records, addressing outstanding professional fees or disbursements, and completing any remaining administrative requirements.

Clients should retain important legal documents and records relating to the matter for future reference where appropriate.

HOW LONG DOES A LEGAL MATTER TAKE?

Timelines Vary From Matter to Matter

There is no universal timeframe for completing a legal matter. Simple matters may be resolved relatively quickly, while complex transactions, disputes, litigation, succession matters, or proceedings involving multiple parties may take considerably longer.

Timelines can be affected by:

The complexity of the matter
Availability of required documents
Client instructions
Actions of other parties
Court or tribunal schedules
Government or registry processes
Negotiations and settlement discussions
Procedural requirements
Appeals or additional proceedings

Any timeframe discussed during a matter should therefore be understood in light of its specific circumstances.

YOUR ROLE IN THE LEGAL PROCESS

Effective Legal Representation Requires Client Cooperation

Clients play an important role in the progress of their legal matters. Providing accurate information, responding promptly, attending required appointments or proceedings, following agreed procedures, and communicating material developments can help the matter progress efficiently.

If you are unsure about an instruction, document, deadline, or legal procedure, ask for clarification rather than making assumptions.

Compliance with a legal obligation
Protection of legitimate interests where permitted by law
Performance of a task or exercise of rights where legally applicable
Other lawful grounds recognised under applicable data-protection law

Where consent is relied upon, consent should be freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn subject to applicable legal requirements.

8. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE REQUESTED INFORMATION?

Complete a particular administrative process

We will seek to explain where requested information is necessary and, where appropriate, whether providing it is optional.

9. PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA FOR LEGAL MATTERS

Legal representation may require the firm to process substantial amounts of personal information.

This may include information about the client, witnesses, opposing parties, employees, family members, business partners, property owners, beneficiaries, employees, or other individuals connected with the matter.

Such information may be required to properly understand the matter, provide legal advice, prepare documents, conduct negotiations, represent a client, comply with professional obligations, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Clients should provide information that is relevant and accurate and should disclose material facts necessary for the proper handling of their matter.

10. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

We may disclose personal data where disclosure is lawful, necessary, and proportionate to the relevant purpose.

Depending on the circumstances, recipients may include:

Government departments
Statutory bodies
Land and other registries
Regulatory authorities

Professional advisers
Experts and consultants

We may use third-party service providers to support the operation of our business and website.

These may include providers supporting:

Website hosting
Email communication
Information technology
Document management

Professional or administrative services

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we seek to ensure that appropriate contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards are applied as required by applicable law.

Some technology, hosting, communication, storage, or other service providers may operate outside Kenya or may process information using infrastructure located in another jurisdiction.

Where personal data is transferred outside Kenya, we will seek to ensure that the transfer and subsequent processing are undertaken in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements and appropriate safeguards.

Where applicable, individuals will be informed of relevant transfer arrangements and safeguards required by law.

13. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:

Unauthorised access
Unauthorised disclosure
Loss
Destruction
Misuse
Alteration
Unlawful processing

Security measures may include appropriate access controls, confidentiality obligations, secure information-handling procedures, system safeguards, restricted access, backups, and other measures appropriate to the nature of the information and associated risks.

No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, individuals should exercise appropriate caution when transmitting confidential information online.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY AND LEGAL PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATIONS

Information received in the course of a professional legal engagement may be subject to confidentiality and applicable professional obligations.

However, visitors should not assume that simply submitting information through a public website form automatically establishes an advocate-client relationship or creates professional confidentiality obligations in relation to information submitted before the firm accepts instructions.

Where confidentiality is particularly important, clients should use the communication and document-submission methods advised by the firm.

15. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required or permitted by applicable law.

Retention periods may depend on:

The nature of the legal matter
Professional obligations
Legal and regulatory requirements
Accounting and financial requirements
Potential legal claims
Court or transaction requirements
The need to maintain appropriate records
Other legitimate and lawful purposes

When personal information is no longer required and there is no lawful reason to retain it, appropriate measures may be taken to securely delete, dispose of, or anonymise the information.

16. DATA QUALITY AND ACCURACY

We seek to maintain accurate and relevant personal information.

Clients and other individuals providing information should ensure that information supplied to the firm is accurate, complete, and not misleading.

If you become aware that personal information held by us is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us and request appropriate correction.

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
Request deletion of personal data in appropriate circumstances
Object to certain processing
Request restriction of processing in applicable circumstances
Withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis for processing
Exercise other rights provided under applicable Kenyan data-protection law

The availability and scope of a particular right may depend on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.

18. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR DATA-PROTECTION RIGHTS

If you wish to exercise a data-protection right, request access to information, seek correction, or raise a privacy concern, contact the firm using the details provided below.

To protect personal information, we may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

Requests should contain sufficient information to allow us to understand the nature of the request and identify the relevant personal data or interaction.

We will handle requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

19. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

We do not intend to use personal information collected through this website to make decisions about individuals solely through automated decision-making in circumstances where applicable law requires specific safeguards.

Where automated processing is introduced in a manner that materially affects individuals and applicable law requires additional information or safeguards, we will address those requirements appropriately.

20. DIRECT MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

Where we send informational or promotional communications, we will do so in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Where consent is required for a particular form of marketing communication, we will seek the appropriate consent.

EFFECTIVE DATE

This Privacy Policy is effective from 01 August 2026.

Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates provides this website as its official online platform for sharing information about the firm, its legal practice, legal resources, and available services. These Terms of Use explain the conditions that apply when you access or use https://muirurimuturiadvocates.co.ke/.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

Effective Date: 01 August 2026

1. ABOUT THESE TERMS

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates.

They apply to all website visitors, including prospective clients, existing clients, business contacts, professionals, and other users accessing the website or its resources.

These Terms govern the use of the website itself. They do not replace any separate engagement letter, retainer, fee agreement, or other professional agreement entered into between the firm and a client.

2. PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE

The website is designed to provide information about Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates, its legal practice, areas of legal service, professional resources, legal information, and ways to contact the firm.

The website may also provide general educational content, legal articles, frequently asked questions, guides, and other resources intended to help visitors understand legal matters.

Website content is provided for general informational purposes and should not be treated as a substitute for advice relating to a specific legal matter.

3. ACCEPTABLE USE

You may access and use this website for lawful and legitimate purposes.

When using the website, you agree to do so responsibly and in a manner that does not:

Violate applicable Kenyan law or any other applicable law
Infringe the rights of another person or organisation
Misrepresent your identity or relationship with the firm
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to website systems
Introduce malicious software or harmful code
Interfere with website security or functionality
Copy or exploit protected website content without permission
Use the website for fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful purposes

Your access to the website may be restricted where your conduct creates a security, operational, legal, or other legitimate concern.

4. LEGAL INFORMATION IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

The website may contain information concerning Kenyan law, legal procedures, legal concepts, common legal questions, and the firm’s areas of practice.

This information is provided for general educational and informational purposes.

It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as advice concerning your individual circumstances.

Legal advice requires an assessment of the specific facts, documents, objectives, applicable law, evidence, deadlines, and circumstances of the matter.

For this reason, you should obtain professional legal advice before taking action based on information published on this website.

For additional information, please review our Legal Disclaimer.

5. NO ADVOCATE-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

Using this website does not automatically create an advocate-client relationship between you and Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates.

In particular, an advocate-client relationship is not established merely because you:

Visit the website
Read website content
Submit an online enquiry
Send an email
Request information
Communicate with the firm before formal engagement

An advocate-client relationship is established only after the firm has accepted instructions and the appropriate professional engagement has been established.

Until that occurs, you should not assume that the firm is acting for you or has accepted responsibility for your legal matter.

6. WEBSITE ENQUIRIES AND COMMUNICATIONS

The website may provide contact forms, email addresses, telephone details, or other communication channels.

Information submitted through these channels may be reviewed for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and determining whether the firm can assist you.

Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance of your instructions, availability of legal representation, a particular response time, a particular legal outcome, or the establishment of an advocate-client relationship.

If your matter involves an urgent court date, statutory deadline, limitation period, threatened legal action, or another time-sensitive issue, you should contact the firm directly and should not rely solely on an online enquiry.

7. INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide through the website is accurate and not knowingly misleading, fraudulent, unlawful, defamatory, or malicious.

You should provide only information that is relevant to your enquiry or intended interaction with the firm.

Please avoid submitting highly confidential or sensitive information through a general website form unless the firm has specifically instructed you to do so.

Personal information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise stated, the content published on this website belongs to or is lawfully used by Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates and may be protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

This may include the firm’s website text, legal articles, written resources, logos, branding, graphics, images, page designs, downloadable materials, and original publications.

You may view and use website content for personal and informational purposes.

You must not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, sell, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from protected content without appropriate permission, except where such use is permitted by law.

9. USE OF THE FIRM’S NAME AND BRAND

The name Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates, together with its branding and identifying materials, must not be used in a manner that falsely suggests affiliation, authorisation, endorsement, sponsorship, or partnership with the firm.

You must not use the firm’s name or branding to create misleading legal, commercial, promotional, or professional communications.

10. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND LINKS

The website may contain links to external websites, platforms, publications, government resources, professional organisations, or other third-party websites.

These links may be provided for convenience, reference, or additional information.

A link to an external website does not necessarily mean that Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates endorses, sponsors, recommends, or accepts responsibility for that website or its content.

Third-party websites operate under their own terms and privacy practices. You should review their applicable policies before using those websites or providing personal information.

11. WEBSITE AVAILABILITY

We make reasonable efforts to maintain the availability and functionality of our website. However, uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.

13. ACCURACY AND CURRENCY OF INFORMATION

The firm seeks to publish information that is useful, accurate, and relevant. However, website information may not always be complete, current, or applicable to every situation.

Legal information can change as a result of legislation, regulations, court decisions, administrative procedures, professional requirements, and other legal developments.

Accordingly, information published on this website should not be treated as a definitive statement of the law applicable to your particular circumstances.

14. NO GUARANTEE OF LEGAL OUTCOMES

Descriptions of legal services, legal processes, possible strategies, examples, or general outcomes do not constitute a guarantee of a particular result.

The outcome of a legal matter depends on its individual circumstances, applicable law, evidence, procedural requirements, decisions of courts or authorities, negotiations, and the actions of other parties.

Past results or examples, where published, should not be interpreted as an assurance of a similar result in another matter.

Our Privacy Policy explains how personal data may be collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected, as well as the rights available to individuals under applicable data-protection law.

By using the website, you should review the Privacy Policy to understand how personal information submitted through the website may be handled.

18. LIMITATION OF RELIANCE

You are responsible for determining whether information obtained from the website is appropriate for your particular circumstances.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you should not make significant legal, financial, commercial, or other decisions solely on the basis of general website information.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict any liability or legal obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

19. RESPONSIBLE USE OF WEBSITE RESOURCES

Website resources are provided to support general understanding and access to information.

You remain responsible for obtaining professional advice where your circumstances require specific legal analysis or representation.

The existence of information about a particular legal service on the website does not mean that the firm has agreed to provide that service to you.

Specific services remain subject to the firm’s assessment, availability, professional requirements, formal instructions, and applicable terms of engagement.

20. CHANGES TO THE WEBSITE

The firm may update, modify, expand, restrict, or remove website content and functionality from time to time.

Changes may be made to reflect developments in legal requirements, professional practice, technology, website functionality, security, firm services, or business operations.

The firm is not required to maintain every website feature or publication indefinitely.

21. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

These Terms of Use may be reviewed and updated periodically.

Changes may be necessary to reflect developments in applicable law, regulatory requirements, professional standards, technology, website functionality, or the firm’s practices.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a person from exercising a right or pursuing a remedy available under applicable law.

23. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally permitted.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

24. NO WAIVER

If the firm does not immediately enforce a particular provision of these Terms, that does not mean the firm has waived its right to enforce that provision in the future.

A waiver is effective only where expressly made and to the extent permitted by law.

25. RELATIONSHIP WITH PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT TERMS

These Terms govern your use of the website and do not constitute a legal-services engagement.

Where you become a client of Muiruri Muturi and Associates Advocates, the professional relationship will be governed by the applicable engagement letter, retainer, fee agreement, instructions, professional obligations, and applicable law.

Where there is a conflict between these website Terms and a specific professional engagement, the terms governing the professional engagement will apply to the extent relevant to that engagement.
