Ellyne Mwango

I am a third-year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) student at the University of Nairobi with tons of legal internship experience at multiple law firms. I support advocates with drafting legal submissions, affidavits, court attendance notes, online proceeding tracking, matter diarisation and document preparation. I combine legal research and drafting ability with ADR training, leadership experience, article writing and a service-driven approach to legal work.
