The Firm
Founded on commercial law. Devoted to patients.
Lumumba Owano Advocates was founded by Lumumba Lena Owano and registered with the Law Society of Kenya in 2024. The firm began in commercial and contract law, and today its practice centres on medical malpractice: holding hospitals and practitioners to account when care falls short.
We keep our practice deliberately focused, so every client has direct access to the advocate handling their matter and every case receives meticulous preparation, backed by independent medical expertise.
