At Yussuf Bashir & Company Advocates, we apply the law to achieve what is in our clients’ best interests. Established in 2014, Yussuf Bashir & Company Advocates has grown into a law firm that clients trust. Our foremost duty is to ensure that our clients’ legal interests are protected at all times. We do not negotiate or compromise on our clients’ rights—whether during settlement conferences, contract negotiations, or signing off on transactions.

Among our firm’s clients are government and academic institutions, domestic and international businesses, and private individuals from around the world. We also represent multinational corporations and INGOs and provide consultancy services. The Tax Justice Network-Africa, the Kenya Human Rights Commission, and Haki na Sheria Initiative are among the recipients of our pro bono legal services.

We specialize in business law and human rights law.

Business Law

As business law practitioners, we provide turnkey solutions to businesses, guiding them from incorporation to liquidation. We recognize that clients need more than just lawyers who tell them what they cannot do—they need highly skilled legal professionals who understand their business vision and help them achieve their objectives in a secure, effective, and sustainable way.

We are involved in all aspects of corporate life, offering legal counsel in:

• Corporate Law
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Commercial Law
• Competition Law
• Public Procurement and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
• Employment Law
• Taxation
• Securities Regulations
• Pension Scheme Development
• Dispute Resolution, including arbitration and litigation before courts at all levels.

Human Rights Law

As human rights practitioners, we hold individuals, public institutions, and private entities accountable for human rights violations, particularly against individuals of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities who are often singled out for abuse. We believe that human rights and successful business are inextricably linked.

We also provide pro bono legal services to women and marginalized communities whose rights have been violated, seeking compensation and government intervention to remedy such injustices.

Additionally, we conduct consultancy-based work for NGOs focused on enforcing, protecting, and promoting human rights through:

• Class-action constitutional petitions
• Training and sensitization programs
