Websites for Law Firms in Kenya
Clear, credible websites for advocates, written within the LSK marketing rules and built to bring in the right enquiries.
From KES 20,000 + VAT · prices exclude 16% VAT
Most people who need an advocate do not know one. They search for the problem — a land dispute, a divorce, an unfair dismissal — and then check two or three firms before they call. Your website is where that shortlist is made.
Advocates in Kenya may market their practice, but within limits. The Advocates (Marketing and Advertisement) Rules, 2014 rule out misleading statements, comparisons with other advocates and promises about outcomes. A good law firm website works inside those limits. It explains what you do, who does it and how to reach you, and leaves the boasting out.
We build law firm sites that are quiet, fast and precise. You approve every line of copy before it goes live.
Why law firms need a website that works
Four things a good site does for law firms that a Facebook page and a phone number cannot.
Clients shortlist firms online
Even a referred client looks you up before calling. A clear site confirms they have the right firm and the right advocate.
It explains the process before the meeting
Clients arrive knowing which documents to bring and how the matter will run, so the first consultation is spent on substance.
It shows who will do the work
Profiles with admission years and practice areas let a client see the advocate, not just the letterhead.
It filters enquiries
Clear practice areas mean fewer calls about work you do not take, and better-prepared calls about work you do.
What a good law firm website does
The things that separate a site that brings in work from one that just exists. This is how we build for law firms.
-
Advocate profiles that can be checked
Full name as it appears on the Roll, year of admission, practice areas and a photograph. Clients can confirm a practising certificate with the Law Society of Kenya, and a profile that matches the record earns trust quickly.
-
Practice pages in plain language
Explain the process, the documents to bring and roughly how long matters take. This is what people search for, and it informs rather than solicits, which keeps it on the right side of the rules.
-
Be straight about fees
Some work, such as conveyancing, is governed by the Advocates Remuneration Order. You need not publish figures, but say how you charge — scale, fixed or hourly — so nobody is surprised at the first meeting.
-
Confidentiality from the first click
What a client types into your form is personal data under the Data Protection Act, 2019. Collect only what intake needs, encrypt it in transit, and publish a privacy notice that says who reads it.
-
Write articles that answer real questions
A short, accurate piece on how to transmit land after a death will be read for years. Two or three a quarter, kept current as the law changes, will do more than a page of firm history.

What law firms usually come to us with
Problems that come up again and again for law firms, and what we would actually do about each one.
“Clients cannot tell what we actually handle”
A separate page for each practice area — conveyancing, family, employment, commercial, litigation — written in the words a client would use, not the language of a pleading. Each page names the advocate who leads that work.
More on web development“We are not sure what we are allowed to say”
We draft copy against the 2014 marketing rules: no rankings, no 'top advocates in Nairobi', no success rates and no client names without written consent. A partner signs it off before launch.
More on web development“Enquiries arrive with no useful detail”
An intake form that asks for the matter type, the other party's name for a conflict check and how urgent it is. It goes to one monitored inbox and states plainly that sending it does not create an advocate-client relationship.
More on system development“Nobody finds us for the work we want”
Practice-area and town pages built around real searches, such as 'land lawyer in Nakuru' or 'employment advocate Nairobi', plus a properly set up Google Business Profile for each office.
More on seo“Client files travel by personal email”
A secure client area for sharing documents, with individual logins and an access log, on hosting with encrypted daily backups. This is custom work and is quoted separately.

Questions about law firm websites
Yes, within the Advocates (Marketing and Advertisement) Rules, 2014. In short, information must be accurate, you may not compare yourself with other advocates or claim to be the best, and you may not promise outcomes. We write to those limits, but the firm is responsible for what it publishes, so a partner should approve the final copy.
We advise caution. Testimonials and results can read as a promise of outcome, and naming a client needs their written consent. Most firms do better with clear practice pages and articles that show how they think.
A business website starts from KES 20,000 + 16% VAT. A typical firm site with six to ten pages, advocate profiles and an intake form costs more, and a secure client portal is custom work from KES 100,000 + VAT. The quote builder on this page gives you an itemised figure.
Yes. We can add a booking form with set slots and an automatic confirmation, or a simpler request form your secretary confirms by phone. Online booking is an add-on priced in your quote.
It can, but it takes time. Every site we build is SEO-ready, and practice-area pages and articles are what earn search traffic. Where you rank depends on competition and ongoing work; nobody can honestly guarantee position one.
