Mining
Mineral rights, community agreements and large-capital project finance in Kenya and the region.
Understanding the mining operating environment.
Kenya's mining sector is at an inflection point. Licensing reform, community-rights jurisprudence and ESG expectations are simultaneously reshaping how projects are sequenced, financed and disclosed to host governments and capital markets.
Mid-scale operations now need to satisfy sponsors, lenders, host communities and increasingly assertive regulators in parallel, with no single workstream allowed to lag. Benefit-sharing, free, prior and informed consent, and credible grievance mechanisms are not optional add-ons, they are conditions to first capital.
Our mining work draws on the corporate, project-finance, disputes and AJS practices in equal measure. Co-authorship of national AJS materials means our community-engagement design is not borrowed from international toolkits, it is built from Kenyan jurisprudence and field practice.

Sector questions, answered.
Can you handle mineral-rights acquisitions?+
Yes, from due diligence through transfer and re-permitting.
Do you design community benefit-sharing agreements?+
Yes, drawing on both our corporate and AJS practices.
Can you raise project finance for mid-scale operations?+
Yes, including documentation for sponsor, lender and offtaker, and the inter-creditor architecture mid-market deals routinely require.
How do you handle FPIC and grievance-mechanism design?+
Our AJS practice builds processes from Kenyan jurisprudence and field practice rather than borrowed international toolkits, so they hold up in both regulator review and host-community use.
Can you support ESG disclosure and reporting?+
Yes. We advise on lender-required ESG reporting, sustainability disclosures and the governance frameworks that sit behind them.
