About Bonyo Law
Bonyo Law is Nairobi's only boutique law firm built exclusively around the needs of technology businesses. From data protection compliance under Kenya's Data Protection Act to AI governance, fintech regulation, and technology contracts, our specialist advocates bring over a decade of elite digital law expertise to every instruction. Whether you are a Kenyan startup, an international technology company entering the African market, or a business facing a live cybersecurity crisis — Bonyo Law is the firm that moves as fast as you do.
Why Bonyo Law
Bonyo Law's founder is a globally recognised authority on digital law, internet governance, and technology policy — advising governments, multilateral institutions, and global technology companies on the legal frameworks shaping Africa's digital economy. This is not just legal practice. This is the frontier of African tech law, and Bonyo Law defines it.
Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019 is in full enforcement. GDPR reaches further than most businesses realise. A single compliance gap can trigger regulatory action, financial penalties, and permanent reputational damage. Bonyo Law delivers comprehensive data protection audits, privacy frameworks, and DPO advisory services — keeping your business compliant, credible, and ahead of every regulator.
SaaS agreements, software development contracts, API licences, IP assignments, and technology transfer deals all carry risks that generalist lawyers routinely miss. Bonyo Law's technology contracts practice delivers airtight, specialist-drafted agreements that protect your intellectual property, your revenue streams, and your competitive advantage — in every jurisdiction you operate across Africa and internationally.
Testimonials
Bonyo Law's data protection audit identified three compliance gaps before our Series A closed. Their tech law team operates at a level I've simply never seen in any other Nairobi firm.
We needed a lawyer who understood fintech regulation across East Africa — not just Kenya. Bonyo Law delivered instant, actionable advice that kept us ahead of every regulator. They are an irreplaceable partner.
As a US company entering the Kenyan market, we needed a tech law partner who bridged global standards and local law. Bonyo Law was the only firm that genuinely understood both worlds.
