The Story Of Our Success
History

EALC was born out of necessity, forged by the demand for high integrity legal leadership across East Africa.

With OLUM ADVOCATES LLP providing vast experience in different sectors of practice and Conkrite Capital offering institutional strength, we together established a modern legal institution governed by discipline and results. From Nairobi, our influence has grown with precision one brief, one contract, one transaction at a time. We are the legal consortium for the 21st century.

THE SPARK OF A VISION

History

Our Beginning

In 2023, a quiet revolution began in Nairobi. Conkrite Capital, an international leader in strategy and investment, sat across the table from OLUM ADVOCATES LLP, a distinguished family-run law firm known for its integrity and legal excellence. Over thoughtful discussions and ambitious ideas, a bold vision emerged: to create a legal consortium that would not only serve clients but redefine the delivery of justice across Africa. This was the first breath of the East African Legal Consortium (EALC), a vision rooted in purpose, ready to take shape in a continent on the rise.

LAYING THE FOUNDATION

Conkrite and OLUM Partnership

By 2024, the vision began to crystallize. Together, the Conkrite and OLUM ADVOCATES LLP teams embarked on a journey of strategic planning, financial modeling, and stakeholder engagement across Kenya and the wider East African region. Meetings were held, partnerships explored, and legal ecosystems studied. Behind the scenes, Conkrite’s analytical discipline met OLUM ADVOCATES LLP’s legal acumen, crafting a balanced and scalable framework for what EALC would become. It was a year of careful groundwork, with a clear mission: to build an institution ready to deliver world-class legal services at scale.

The Formation of The EALC

In 2025, EALC came to life. With all legal entities registered and operations aligned, the partnership between Conkrite Capital and OLUM ADVOCATES LLP was formalized under a unified banner. The recruitment drive commenced, drawing some of the most talented legal professionals from across the continent. A landmark agreement cemented the foundation of this historic alliance, marking the official launch of EALC. More than a firm, EALC represents a movement, a modern legal institution poised to transform access to justice and professional legal service in Africa.
