In September 2025, Oluoch Kimori Advocates led by Partner Lilian Oluoch-Wambi and Associate Kevin Kamanzi had the privilege of participating in the Ocean Centres Workshop Kenya held alongside the Blue Economy Innovation Summit, a collaborative effort by Ocean Centres Kenya and the UN Global Compact Network Kenya. The event brought together innovators, policymakers, regulators, researchers, industry leaders and legal practitioners committed to shaping a sustainable and prosperous future for Kenya’s blue economy.

The discussions underscored the urgent need for stronger governance frameworks, environmental stewardship, and practical solutions that support resilient ocean-based industries. From maritime safety to fisheries management, waste reduction, marine spatial planning and climate-aligned innovation, the Summit emphasized the critical role of law, compliance and structured dispute resolution in safeguarding marine ecosystems and enabling responsible industry growth.

Oluoch Kimori Advocates remains fully aligned with this vision. With deep expertise in maritime, environmental and fisheries law, we are committed to supporting clients across the ocean economy in navigating regulatory compliance, strengthening governance structures and addressing disputes effectively. We champion lawful, secure and sustainable ocean operations, and continue to work with partners, institutions and businesses driving Kenya’s blue economy forward.

Together, we can build resilient ocean industries anchored in responsibility, innovation and the rule of law.
