Enid Pendo

My career combines comprehensive legal training and practical experience across corporate and conveyancing matters, complemented by a solid academic foundation with a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law, an LL.B. from the University of Nairobi, and a Higher National Diploma in Fashion Design. I am currently an Advocate Trainee at N.K. Mugo & Company Advocates, where I support banking and asset finance transactions, prepare company documents, and manage client communications, contributing to successful corporate and commercial deals.

I have also developed skills in corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and document management, and have completed pupillage training while awaiting admission to the bar. My background positions me well for entry-level in-house legal roles, where I can apply my expertise in commercial transactions, corporate governance, conveyancing, and regulatory compliance to support effective legal and business operations.
