Sylvan Mutoro

The Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) program at Daystar University has prepared me to practice law because I acquired practical legal skills through my internships at Kenya Power and Lighting Company and Milimani Law Courts. I possess expertise in legal analysis together with the ability to draft legal documents and perform research work across commercial law, criminal law, tax law, and intellectual property law. My professional interests include advocacy work, dispute resolution processes, and ongoing professional development activities.
