ALN Kenya and JK Kibicho & Co Advocates have started the new year with fresh additions to their partner ranks.<\/p>\n
ALN Kenya has promoted corporate lawyer Kevin Mutulis to partner. The firm announced his appointment in its Nairobi office on Friday (9 January). Also in Nairobi, JK Kibicho & Co Advocates announced the elevation of Maureen Cheruiyot to partner last week.<\/p>\n
Mutulis specialises in corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and regulatory and commercial issues. ALN Kenya highlighted his ability to navigate the evolving complexity of the wider African business environment, with his practice spanning African and international markets.<\/p>\n

He joined KN Law in 2017 before his jump to ALN Kenya in 2019, and transferred to Slaughter & May for a six-month spell as a visiting lawyer in 2023.<\/p>\n
ALN Kenya senior partner Karim Anjarwalla said in a statement: \u201cIn Kevin, we see a partner who reflects the values we stand for: Pan-African in mindset, down to earth, practical, rigorous and determined and with a deep understanding of risk and our clients\u2019 commercial objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dominic Rebelo, head of the ALN Kenya corporate and commercial practice, added: \u201cHis leadership, integrity and collaborative approach will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our corporate expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ALN offering has boosted its partner ranks with several significant arrivals over the last year, including corporate finance partner Edward Williams<\/a> in ALN Tanzania\u2019s Dar es Salaam office in April last year, and former Hogan Lovells partner Chris Green<\/a>, who also joined the Dar es Salaam location in January the same year.<\/p>\n
