Newsletter sent on November 27, 2024 at 5:07 PM (EAT)
Dear Esteemed Client,
Greetings from Muthomi & Karanja Advocates.
As we near the close of this year, we are delighted to share fantastic news regarding an impressive achievement by our Head of Dispute Resolution, Dr Muthomi Thiankolu.
During this year’s Nairobi Legal Awards, held on 22 November 2024 by the Nairobi Legal Awards Trust, Dr Muthomi was crowned with two awards, namely (i) the Litigation Practitioner of the Year Award and (ii) the Runners-Up Award for the Lawyer of the Year, having successfully undergone a competitive and rigorous seven-stage assessment process.
The Nairobi Legal Awards recognise exceptional Kenyan legal professionals who make significant contributions to jurisprudence and the practice of law while abiding by the highest standards of integrity and professional ethics.
The awards to Dr Muthomi not only recognise his exceptional skills but also significantly affirm our reputation and status as a go-to law firm.
The citation for Dr Muthomi’s Litigation Practitioner of the Year Award is a testament from the legal fraternity and the public to his unwavering belief in the Rule of Law. It partly reads as follows:
In litigation, excellence is not merely defined by courtroom victories but by the impact an advocate has on jurisprudence, governance, and justice. The Litigation Practitioner of the Year award celebrates an exceptional legal mind whose work transcends the courtroom, leaving a mark on the legal profession.
This Year’s awardee has a reputation for precision, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to integrity. They have argued precedent-setting cases before all levels of Kenya’s judiciary and regional courts such as the East African Court of Justice, influencing constitutional interpretation, public procurement regulation, and human rights law…
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pride that we present the Litigation Practitioner of the Year to a legal scholar, practitioner, and steadfast advocate for justice:
