Commandments
Based on the experience gained so far in exercising legal services, the ONE & Associates, LLP, have laid down the following 10 critical rules to be applied to our work.
- Loyalty – The client’s requirement is a critical starting point of our job. It is perceived as a loyalty commitment. We always thoroughly assess the legal service required in relation to our ability to satisfy that demand, always trying to identify any possible conflict of interests in order to render the legal assistance independently, efficiently and in accordance with the client’s requirements.
- Confidentiality – We always follow the confidentiality rules without exception, as required of us by law. The principle is reflected in the way we handle the the information and documentation entrusted to us by our clients.
- Expertise – We are continuously monitoring the latest legal provisions and their interpretations in the judicature of both Kenyan and Ugandan courts. We pay close attention to the level of expertise of all our attorneys and see to it that the level stays high.
