Successfully Providing Financial Solution For 6 Years

Our Story

S.N. Nyaga & Company Advocates is a boutique law firm based in Nairobi, Kenya, providing strategic legal and regulatory solutions to startups, fintechs, licensed institutions, and high-growth enterprises across Africa. Our mission is simple: to deliver commercially astute legal counsel that empowers our clients to scale, comply, and lead in competitive markets.

Who we Are

Founded by Sammy Nyaga, an experienced legal and compliance professional with deep expertise in financial technology, digital payments, and regulatory risk, our firm blends legal rigour with operational insight. Before founding the firm, Sammy served as Legal and Compliance Associate at Onexent Technologies, a licensed Payment Service Provider (PSP) operating across East and Southern Africa.

Sammy has advised on cross-border fintech licensing, corporate structures, regulatory compliance, intercompany arrangements, and merchant onboarding frameworks across Kenya, Zambia, Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana, and South Africa.

At S.N. Nyaga & Company Advocates, we believe that legal support should be more than technical correctness — it should deliver clarity, reduce regulatory friction, and fuel business momentum.
