On October 2, 2025, Nyiha, Mukoma & Company Advocates proudly marks a major milestone – 25 years of dedicated legal service. Founded on October 2, 2000, our firm has grown from humble beginnings into a leading full-service law practice, thanks to the trust of our clients and the dedication of our team. We are excited to celebrate this silver jubilee with all who have been part of our journey, reflecting on our achievements and looking forward to the future with confidence and gratitude.
Our Journey Since 2000
Nyiha, Mukoma & Co. Advocates was founded in 2000 by James Nyiha and Peter Mukoma, two visionary lawyers who united their complementary talents in litigation, commercial law, and conveyancing. The firm’s foundation brought together youthful energy and deep legal expertise, all guided by a shared vision: to provide expert legal advice with integrity and professionalism to clients in a rapidly evolving 21st-century landscape.
Over the past 25 years, the firm has grown from a two-person practice into a fully service-oriented law firm covering all areas of corporate, civil, and commercial law. Today, our team is over 20 advocates strong, and our capabilities span litigation, arbitration, conveyancing, and commercial transactions, among many other fields. Our firm is distinguished by the depth and scope of our legal services and an unmatched understanding of business practices across Kenya and the broader East African region. From a modest Nairobi office in 2000 to a multi-disciplinary firm in 2025, our journey stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence, adaptability, and growth in a changing legal landscape.
Our Values and Vision
For 25 years, our core values have been the north star guiding everything we do. We have always insisted on the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in every matter we handle, and we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for each case while keeping the client’s best interests at heart. This unwavering commitment to excellence and client-centered service has defined our reputation, effectively setting “the standard for exceptional quality client service” in our market.
From day one, we envisioned becoming one of Africa’s premier law firms, known not only for legal expertise but also for trust and long-lasting client relationships built on mutual respect. That vision remains alive and strong. We strive to be a trusted advisor to our clients and a firm that upholds integrity and excellence in all circumstances. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we reaffirm this vision and our pledge to uphold the values that have defined us – professionalism, integrity, excellence, and an unwavering dedication to our clients’ success.
Landmark Cases & Milestones
Over the past quarter-century, Nyiha, Mukoma & Co. Advocates has had the privilege of handling cases and projects that have shaped jurisprudence and made a positive impact on our community.

Looking Ahead with Gratitude
As we celebrate this 25th anniversary, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have made this journey possible. To our clients – your trust and loyalty have been the cornerstone of our success. Many of you have been with us for years, even decades, and every matter you entrusted to us has helped shape who we are today.

It is your expertise, integrity, and passion that have turned challenges into triumphs. The camaraderie and “deep team spirit” within our firm have enabled us to deliver justice, practical solutions, and exceptional service to our clients time and again.

Looking ahead, Nyiha, Mukoma & Co. Advocates remains as committed as ever to serving our clients and community. The legal landscape will continue to evolve in the years to come, but we pledge to stay at the forefront of these changes – advocating tirelessly for our clients’ interests, embracing innovation in legal practice, and mentoring the next generation of lawyers.
