Jimmy Njuguna Kihara

Jimmy advises clients throughout the business lifecycle.

His work encompasses the establishment of companies and investment structures, shareholder arrangements, commercial agreements, executive relationships, governance frameworks, regulatory compliance, transaction support and corporate restructuring.

His experience has included advising businesses operating within sectors such as:

• Energy
• Telecommunications
• Water and sanitation
• Infrastructure
• Banking and financial services
• Real estate and construction
• Insurance
• Capital markets
• Oil and gas
• Maritime and logistics
• Technology

This cross-sector exposure gives him an appreciation of how legal, regulatory and commercial considerations interact within complex businesses.

Jimmy has developed a particular focus on one of the fastest-changing areas of modern legal practice: the relationship between technology and regulation.

His work and research extend into:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Data Protection
• Cybersecurity Governance
• Digital Platforms
• Intellectual Property
• Information & Communications Technology
• Emerging Technologies
• Technology Regulation

He has examined legal questions arising from technologies such as artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, including questions of liability, regulation, responsibility and the legal frameworks that will govern increasingly automated economies. For businesses operating within technology-driven environments, this provides access to legal counsel capable of understanding both traditional corporate structures and the new regulatory questions shaping digital markets.

Jimmy also plays an important role in the development of the firm’s knowledge, research and practice capabilities.

Complex commercial matters frequently require lawyers to move beyond established precedent and understand developing legislation, international standards and rapidly evolving regulatory environments.

That is particularly true in technology.

Jimmy’s research background strengthens his ability to break down those issues and translate complex legal questions into practical recommendations for executives and decision-makers.

His practice therefore brings together three disciplines:

Legal analysis. Commercial judgement. Future-facing regulation.
