What clients said
“Paras stands apart in my mind from many competitors because of his unique ability to understand and provide service which at the same time is knowledgeable and ‘local’ to the Kenyan environment and realities.”
“He is quick, pragmatic and generally very clever in recommending a sensible way forward on tricky commercial issues.”
“He is one of the most commercially astute lawyers with whom I have worked.”
“Many local counsel are very good at stating the law in some detail, but not so good at providing advice as to what clients should do. Paras does this extremely well.”
