Welcome to My Practice

I specialise in international taxation, technology governance, commercial, and corporate law. I draft legislation, design tax strategies and fiscal policies for governments and I bring that same depth of expertise to every client I work with, whether they are a multinational, a startup, a civil society organisation, an international agency or an individual.

I do not just advise. I build legal frameworks, policy instruments, and training programmes that work in the real world, across the African continent and beyond.


My Law Firm's Model

My firm handles a broad range of legal matters, so wherever your legal needs sit, you will find capable, experienced counsel here. I operate through a globally distributed consulting team spanning the African continent, Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and the UAE combining local knowledge with an international perspective that few firms can genuinely claim.

Contribution to Knowledge

I am the author of two books on public finance: Governing Public Money (2026), the first comprehensive treatment of public finance management law for African contexts, and Islamic Wealth Taxation and Financing Public Health (2023), exploring how faith-based wealth obligations might finance the right to heal.

History, Made!

Part of Negotiating the Historic Global Tax Treaty

For the first time in history, an African academic institution has a formal seat at the United Nations negotiations to draft the world's first Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation — and I put it there.


I secured accreditation for the Committee on Fiscal Studies, based at the University of Nairobi, making it the first African academic institution ever to participate in these landmark negotiations. 


As its Chair, I appear before the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee, making formal submissions on the architecture of the Convention and on the Protocol on the Taxation of Cross-Border Digital Services. The rules of global taxation are being rewritten. I am one of the people writing them.
