Background
David is an Associate in the Dispute Resolution team at ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna, with a growing practice grounded in international arbitration, commercial litigation (including shareholder disputes), constitutional litigation, employment matters, and tax disputes. He is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and a member of the Law Society of Kenya. He holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law and a Bachelor of Laws (LL.
