The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) council is pleased to announce that the National Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation has ratified the move to reduce practising certificate fees for newly admitted advocates. This decision, reflected in Legal Notices 110 and 111 of 15th July 2024, aims to ease the financial burden on young lawyers as they embark on their legal careers.
The reduction in fees acknowledges the unique challenges faced by newly admitted advocates, providing them with a more manageable entry into the profession. This change is expected to support young lawyers in navigating the initial difficulties of their careers, allowing them to focus more on their professional development and less on financial constraints.
The new fee structure has been carefully designed to reflect the different stages of legal practice while ensuring that the LSK can continue to function effectively. The Society appreciates the input of all members who participated in setting the new fees and remains committed to enhancing the legal practice environment.
“We believe that this reduction will facilitate more tenable realities for young advocates as they begin their careers,” stated an LSK council representative. “The council remains committed to improving the legal practice environment and delivering the best outcomes for all our members.”
This move is part of the LSK’s broader commitment to support its members and promote a thriving legal profession in Kenya. By reducing financial barriers, the LSK aims to ensure that new advocates can start their careers on a strong footing, contributing positively to the legal landscape of the country.
