About
About
Your Business, Our Solutions.
A Nairobi law firm built on transparency, efficiency and commercial relevance. We advise the way our clients’ businesses actually operate, with the rigour and discretion a serious matter deserves.
Clay & Associates Advocates was founded on a simple premise: legal advice should be transparent, efficient and commercially relevant, not a black box billed by the hour and delivered in language no client asked for. We work closely with SMEs, startups and individuals, translating the law into decisions our clients can make with confidence.

Meet the Founder
Clay Odari
Founder
Clay Odari founded the firm with a practising certificate, a conviction that he could serve clients well, and the willingness to do the work. That range, taking on the matters that came through the door, gave him a working understanding of how legal problems actually show up in people’s lives and businesses.

Pro Bono
A commitment that is not unlimited, but is genuine
We allocate a proportion of our time to matters where representation would otherwise be absent, including criminal defence, constitutional rights enforcement and community legal education.
