Profile
Experience shaped by commercial context.
Yvonne is the Managing Partner at KDH Advocates and Head of the firm's Commercial and Real Estate Practice. She has extensive experience advising local and international clients on complex real estate, construction, and finance matters. Her work includes structuring development projects, arranging real estate finance, implementing securitisation frameworks, and guiding high-net-worth individuals through estate planning strategies.
Her experience at Ecobank gave her a strong foundation in securitisation and banking regulatory compliance. She works closely with financial institutions and SACCOs on compliant frameworks for securitisation, recovery, and governance, while also advising on structured finance, syndicated lending, project finance, asset financing, enforcement of securities, and capital raising.
Her real estate practice spans acquisitions, sales and conveyancing, property development and joint ventures, commercial and residential leases, land use planning, zoning, environmental compliance, construction contract management, and property disputes.
Yvonne combines transactional, advisory, and dispute-resolution expertise to serve property developers, financial institutions, and investment companies as a trusted adviser in Kenya's real estate and construction landscape.
