Celebrating Lilian’s Remarkable Milestone

Congratulation Lilian Oluoch Wambi Oluoch Kimori Advocates Mombasa Best Law Firm Awards Employment

We are thrilled to share in the celebration of a significant and well-deserved professional milestone. Lilian Oluoch-Wambi, the visionary Director of Oluoch Kimori Advocates, has been appointed as the Chairperson of the East Africa Law Society (EALS) Employment Law & Human Resource Committee.

This prestigious appointment is a true testament to Lilian’s enduring dedication, formidable legal expertise, and impactful leadership within the realm of employment law and human resource advocacy. Her selection reflects not only her professional excellence but also the high regard in which she is held across the East African legal community.

Over the years, Lilian has established herself as a trusted voice and thought leader in employment law. Her work has consistently championed fair labor practices, ethical employer-employee relations, and robust HR policy frameworks that uphold both justice and productivity. With a deep understanding of regional dynamics and a passion for legal reform, she has continually shaped conversations that matter.

Her new role as Chairperson places her at the helm of one of the most vital committees within the EALS. At a time when workplaces are undergoing significant transformation, particularly in the wake of digital evolution, shifting labor demands, and changing regulatory landscapes, her leadership could not be more timely or more necessary.

Lilian’s appointment is not just a proud moment for her personally or for Oluoch Kimori Advocates as a firm—it is a landmark achievement for the entire legal profession in East Africa. It represents progress, inclusion, and the elevation of voices that advocate for fairness, equity, and professionalism in every sphere of employment law and human resources.

We are confident that under her capable stewardship, the EALS Employment Law & Human Resource Committee will flourish. Her leadership will undoubtedly encourage cross-border collaboration, foster capacity building, and drive legal frameworks that support both employers and employees across East Africa.

Beyond her impressive credentials, Lilian is an inspiration to many—especially young lawyers and women in leadership. Her journey reminds us that excellence is built on a foundation of integrity, hard work, and service to others. As Chairperson, she will continue to lead with the same purpose-driven spirit that has defined her career.

May this new role be filled with success, influence, and continued impact. Your voice, vision, and values will undoubtedly shape a stronger future for employment law and human resource practice across the region.

We celebrate you today—and always.

Oluoch Kimori Advocates Advocating for Healing Where It Matters Most

Oluoch Kimori Advocates Advocating for Healing Where It Matters Most

At Oluoch Kimori Advocates, we believe that justice extends beyond the courtroom—it includes the emotional and psychological well-being of every individual, particularly those within our correctional systems. This belief was powerfully reinforced on Saturday 24 May, as our team, led by Director Jane Kimori, joined fellow advocates, stakeholders and wellness professionals at the Mental Wellness Forum held at Mombasa Remand.

The event, hosted by Tubonge Bila Kiki under the leadership of Righa Shally, brought together passionate voices to address one of the most pressing but often overlooked issues in justice reform: mental health.

Held within the walls of Mombasa Remand, the forum was not only symbolic but deeply impactful. It highlighted the emotional toll that incarceration and systemic disconnection can have on individuals. With discussions centered on restoring dignity, reducing stigma and creating holistic approaches to rehabilitation, the gathering served as a call to action for legal and mental health practitioners alike.

Director Jane Mami Kimori, speaking on behalf of Oluoch Kimori Advocates, emphasized the need for collaborative engagement between the justice system and mental wellness initiatives.

“As legal professionals, we encounter daily the silent burdens individuals carry. True justice demands that we do more—listen more, understand deeper and fight harder for environments that heal rather than harden,” she said.

Collective Action for Lasting Change

The forum also showcased contributions from counsellors, reformed individuals, correctional staff and wellness experts—each sharing powerful testimonies and actionable insights. These diverse perspectives reminded all present that mental wellness is not a luxury—it is a necessity for reform, resilience and re-entry.

The Oluoch Kimori team actively engaged in these conversations, sharing legal insights while also listening to stories that deepen our resolve to integrate human-centered justice across every touchpoint of our work.

Our Ongoing Commitment

We extend our deepest gratitude to Tubonge Bila Kiki and Righa Shally for creating such a transformative space. It was an honor to participate and to reaffirm our commitment to mental wellness as a pillar of restorative justice.

As we reflect on the forum’s impact, we’re reminded that true advocacy involves showing up, standing together, and speaking up for those whose voices are too often unheard. We remain committed to supporting wellness-focused initiatives, not just within institutions, but across the broader fabric of society.

Friday Win: Court of Appeal Upholds Trade Union Decision

FRIDAY WIN Court Of Appeal Upholds Trade Union Decision Oluoch Kimori Advocates Kenya Salt Workers Union vs. The Registrar of Trade Unions & Another
We are thrilled to share a significant legal victory for our client, the Interested Party, in Civil Appeal No. E028 of 2022 – Kenya Salt Workers Union vs. The Registrar of Trade Unions & Another. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the decision to refuse the registration of the Kenya Salt Workers Union for the following key reasons:
  • The proposed union sought to represent workers already sufficiently covered by an existing registered trade union (our client).
  • Section 14(1)(d) of the Labour Relations Act prohibits the registration of a new trade union where another is already sufficiently representative of workers in that sector.
  • The Registrar of Trade Unions was not obligated to approve the registration simply because there was no formal objection—the law requires an independent assessment of sectoral representation.
  • The court affirmed that limiting the proliferation of trade unions prevents confusion, unnecessary disputes, and strengthens collective bargaining for workers.
This ruling reinforces the importance of sector-based trade unions and ensures orderly labor relations. At Oluoch Kimori Advocates, we are proud to have successfully represented our client in this matter. Strategic litigation. Strong advocacy. Solid results. For any queries, feel free to reach out to Lilian Oluoch-Wambi or Kevin Kamanzi. #FridayWin #LegalVictory #EmploymentLaw #TradeUnionLaw #OluochKimoriAdvocates
