Constitutional Petitions and Judicial Review applications are now powerful tools for advancing and protecting individual and corporate rights in Kenya. They have made headlines as the go-to mechanism to guard against government overreach and defend citizens’ constitutionally guaranteed human rights. The Constitution of Kenya (2010) is celebrated as one of the world’s most progressive.

Judsons LLP stands at the forefront of shaping Kenyan constitutional law. Courts are increasingly receptive to the Constitution’s binding national values, applying them not only to public bodies but also to corporate actors. Our firm has successfully argued novel constitutional claims all the way to the Supreme Court, including ground-breaking work on goodwill as a constitutionally protected right.

Judicial Review enables courts to scrutinize the legality of any administrative decision, whether by a committee, tribunal, public official, or public body, under Article 47 of the Constitution. Our deep expertise in administrative law ensures that your rights are fully protected. We advise clients on the merits of their case, draft legally sound pleadings, and represent them before the High Court and Court of Appeal, both defending against and enforcing administrative decisions.
