About the Firm
A Kenyan firm with global instincts.
Founded in the heart of Nairobi, Koriow & Associates Advocates LLP has grown into a trusted partner for individuals, enterprises and public institutions navigating Kenya's evolving legal terrain.
Our History
Built on conviction, refined by experience.
Established by Zamzam Mohamed Koriow, our firm emerged from a conviction that Kenyan clients deserve legal counsel of the highest international calibre — delivered with cultural fluency and an enduring sense of public duty.
From our chambers on Koinange Street, we serve clients across East Africa: founders, families, financiers, corporates and state institutions. We blend traditional craftsmanship with modern thinking — at home in courtrooms, boardrooms and cross-border negotiations alike.
Today, our practice spans nine disciplines, including pioneering work in Islamic finance, technology law and energy regulation — areas shaping the future of the Kenyan economy.
