A B Patel & Patel Advocates

Mombasa, Kenya

A.B. Patel & Patel Advocates traces its origins back to 1922, when founder Ambalal Patel, a practicing barrister, established the firm. His son Chimanlal A. Patel joined him at the bar that same year, and together they built the partnership that would become formally registered in 1952. In 1959, the firm welcomed C.K. Kanji, a prominent commercial attorney whose 55-year tenure proved transformative. Kanji's leadership helped shape the firm's reputation for maintaining high standards of efficiency, ethics, and creative problem-solving while driving sustained expansion. Among Kenya's longest-operating law firms, A.B. Patel & Patel has earned considerable recognition for its strength in corporate and commercial work as well as its dispute resolution capabilities. The practice maintains offices in both Mombasa and Nairobi, positioning it to serve clients throughout Kenya with deep regional expertise and a nuanced understanding of East African legal matters. The firm delivers comprehensive legal services across multiple practice areas including alternative dispute resolution, aviation, banking and finance, commercial litigation, company secretarial matters, employment law, energy law, mergers and acquisitions, and real estate. A.B. Patel & Patel represents an exceptionally diverse clientele ranging from multinational corporations and investment funds to government entities, state-owned enterprises, NGOs, and private individuals.
