Core Land & Property Civil Litigation Practice Areas

Navigating real estate civil litigation under Article 40 of the Constitution of Kenya, the Land Act (2012), the Land Registration Act (2012), and the Environment and Land Court Act requires swift, decisive strategy. We represent individual landowners, family trusts, and commercial developers across:

• Defense Against Unlawful Compulsory Acquisition & NLC Challenges:

1. Challenging non-compliant compulsory acquisition attempts by the National Land Commission (NLC) and public infrastructure authorities.

2. Enforcing mandatory pre-taking valuation assessments and litigating for full, prompt, and fair compensation before state entry.

• Title Cancellation, Double Allocation & Fraud Revocation:

1. Instituting court actions to nullify illegally created titles, forged conveyancing transfer deeds, and double-allocation entries using Ministry archives and Ardhisasa digital records.

2. Defending innocent purchasers for value against irregular title revocation claims by state or private actors.

• Boundary Disputes, Adverse Possession & Restraint Orders:

1. Resolving survey clashes, fence line adjustments, and boundary disputes alongside County Surveyors under the Land Adjudication Act.

2. Pursuing or defending claims of Adverse Possession under the Limitation of Actions Act (Cap 22) for uninterrupted 12-year land occupation.
