What We Do
RFKN Legal is a full-service law practice. This means that we not only advise corporate clients on the domestic and transnational legal obligations of their enterprises, but also undertake litigation and appear before arbitral tribunals on their behalf. Our practice ranges from international commercial arbitration before institutional tribunals like the SIAC to litigating family law disputes before hyperlocal family courts. We truly provide end-to-end services for all kinds of legal issues our clients face, and across all forums.
At RKFN Legal, we advise and represent clients across various ADR forums, international and domestic, institutional and ad-hoc. Whether your choice of ADR mechanism involves the functioning of multiple laws, or just one composite code, our transnational practitioners have the expertise needed to represent you.
RFKN Legal is proud to be a collective of lawyers who are litigation leaders in their jurisdictions of practice. This helps serve our corporate and private clients more smoothly. We don’t just advise you in the boardroom, but also extend that service to the actual courtroom, making sure that you trusted legal representative is present with you throughout the dispute.
RFKN Legal is proud to advise multi-national corporations on their legal and regulatory due diligence as well as conflict of law compliance. We are different from the regular law practice that is traditionally restricted to arguing based on the law. We go beyond. We actively work towards helping policy makers make better laws. From our policy papers on Indian and Kenyan art law, to our suggestions on the new tax law bill, we transcend the traditional boundaries and contribute in multiple ways.
Areas of Practice
At our practice, we are dedicated to guiding clients through complex local laws while keeping the bigger global picture in focus. With a strong presence in India, Germany, Italy, and Kenya, our team brings over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and businesses across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Whether it’s private or commercial matters—civil or criminal—our trusted network of lawyers and consultants is here to provide practical, results-driven legal solutions tailored to your needs. Some examples of our areas of practice are below. A more comprehensive list is available on our expertise pages.
Transparency and accountability are major challenges when working across borders. We ensure our clients have strong corporate structures and ensure their operations have the full protection of the law, whether that is to protect them from private corruption or to prevent unscrupulous distributors from taking advantage of them.
Much work remains to be done in the dynamic interrelationship of art and law. In the globalised world of art, where the boundaries of creation and ownership often transcend national borders, art law is rapidly emerging as an important discipline. Art law encompasses a diverse range of legal issues, from intellectual property rights and cultural heritage protection to moral rights
We are working hard to strengthen children’s rights in our jurisdiction. The present laws & conventions governing internationally and domestic custody, fostering and adoption arrangements do not adequately address the requirements of children today. Child labour & refugee children have specific challenges that require more concentrated effort to provide adequate safeguards.
We are fully aware of and fighting for better and more effective implementation of the rights of persons with disabilities in our jurisdiction. We firmly believe that a just society is an inclusive society. Our team supports activists in this field and has also worked to raise awareness of local governments and the judiciary in our jurisdiction.
Immigration and citizenship issues continue to arise in different countries. The world today offers immense possibilities, but the legal structures are hard to navigate. We are supporting individuals and businesses to connect and navigate complex legal structures to ensure the process is as painless and humane as possible.
International sports law faces many challenges due to the complexity of global sport, the diversity of legal systems and the evolving nature of the sports industry, whether it is doping, governance and transparency, player contracts or the interpretation of various sporting codes.
