Bonyo Law (formerly Bonyo Mwongela & Company Advocates) is a boutique technology law firm headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, serving clients across Africa and internationally. Our practice is built exclusively around the legal needs of technology businesses — from early-stage startups to established digital enterprises and multinational technology companies entering African markets.
Unlike full-service firms that treat technology law as one practice area among many, Bonyo Law's entire firm is built around technology. Every advocate on our team specialises in digital law. Every instruction is handled by a specialist. This is not a generalist firm with a technology department. This is a technology law firm.
