Writing & Publications

Construction Law Interest
Contracts, project risk and dispute resolution.
My developing interest in construction law focuses on the legal architecture behind projects: contract formation and administration, payment obligations, variations, delay and extension-of-time issues, record keeping, risk allocation and the mechanisms used to prevent or resolve construction disputes.
Construction Contracts
How scope, payment, notices, variations, time obligations, termination and risk allocation affect project relationships.
Construction Disputes
The recurring legal and factual issues behind delay, payment, defects, changes, records and contractual compliance.
Arbitration & ADR
The role of negotiation, mediation, adjudicative processes and arbitration in resolving complex project disputes.
ADR & Arbitration
ADR is part of my profile, not a separate island.
My arbitration journey began through curiosity, conferences, volunteer opportunities and conversations with practitioners. The ADR Compass feature reflects the personal side of that journey: learning to introduce myself, ask questions and move from observer to participant.

I volunteered in ICC Kenya arbitration-related spaces, where I interacted with practitioners, observed professional discussions and deepened my exposure to the practical side of arbitration.
