Energy Law
KK WAWERU Advocates LLP boasts a wealth of expertise and extensive networks within Kenya’s energy
sector, allowing us to advise both local and international clients on a wide range of issues related to the
oil and gas industries, electricity production, and sales, as well as associated legal matters.
Our firm is adept at guiding international and local oil companies through the intricacies of the Model
Kenya Production Sharing Agreement. We assist in obtaining work permits and passes for employees and
contractors, and we prepare or review related technical, financing, and production agreements. We have
also helped oil marketers with the preparation of leases or licenses for petrol stations and have
represented them in agreements for fuel facility construction, acquisition, and sharing.
In addition to our work with oil marketers, we have conducted legal and compliance audits for major local
oil companies, contributing to their ISO Certification. Our firm also provides legal services and advisories
for infrastructure projects in power generation, industrial plants, and other natural resource sectors.

various local and international infrastructure projects, including road and aviation developments. We also
