July 10, 2020 - Miguna Miguna, a prominent Kenyan activist, has launched a global law firm in partnership with Canadian lawyer Courtney Kazembe.
The law firm, KMM Lawyers, has offices in Canada and Jamaica, and a team of lawyers authorized to practice in the United States (New York state), Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago.
According to Miguna, he and Kazembe first met at Osgoode Hall Law School in 1990, and have now founded KMM Lawyers with a team of lawyers called to the Bar in multiple countries.
“30 years on, we have founded KMM LAWYERS (formerly Kazembe & Associates PC) with offices in Toronto and Jamaica and a team of lawyers called to the Bar in New York, Ontario, Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago. Thank you,” Miguna said in a statement.
Before returning to Kenya in 2007, Miguna worked as a barrister and solicitor in Canada, focusing on civil rights and immigration matters.
However, his stay in Kenya was cut short in February 2018, when he was forcibly deported under orders from Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, a move that was later declared illegal.
