ISFIN teams up with Anjarwalla & Khanna in Kenya

ANJARWALLA & KHANNA consolidates its practice towards investors from the Muslim world.

ISFIN has teamed up with ANJARWALLA & KHANNA as the exclusive representative for Kenya. With over 45 lawyers, Anjarwalla & Khanna is Kenya’s largest corporate law firm. The firm has offices in both Nairobi and Mombasa and is unique in providing a broad range of legal and advisory services in Kenya.

Prof. Laurent Marliere, CEO of ISFIN says “ it is another tremendous step forward to have the most prestigious and recognized law firm in Kenya join ISFIN. “

Islamic finance is found in the fastest growing economies in the world. Africa has a rapid growth rate and is particularly attractive. “In a few years, it will be inconceivable to look at most investments in African countries without the « Islamic finance approach »” says Marliere.

“Kenya’s 4-5% expected GDP growth is due to expansions in tourism, telecommunications, transport and construction. A government, generally perceived as investment friendly, supports these improvements. Several regulatory reforms to simplify both foreign and local investment have been implemented. Kenya is considered the main alternative location to South Africa, for major corporations seeking entry into the African continent”, says Marliere.

A & K’s Managing Partner Karim S. Anjarwalla says that : “We have a long experience of teaming up with the best independent law firms in the world. We are the founding member of ALN. ALN is an established group of leading firms in 12 African countries and the largest group of its kind on the African continent”.

Anjarwalla & Khanna’s client base includes banking and financial institutions, private equity funds, venture capital and institutional equity investors, real estate developers, telecommunication companies, project developers and financiers, multilateral lenders, industrial and commercial companies, professional firms as well as government and public organizations both locally and internationally.

The firm continues to be praised for its ability to handle complex transactions and its reputation for exceptional client service.

CHAMBERS GLOBAL has put it best : “Anjarwalla & Khanna is a top choice for complex transactions due to client confidence in the team’s abilities… Probably the best firm in Nairobi today.”

ISFIN is the world’s leading platform of law firms specializing in Islamic Finance, investments from and to the Muslim world and the Halal industry. The alliance covers more than 45 jurisdictions around the world.
