At Ndwiga Law, we help family-owned businesses build strong legal and governance structures that promote stability, preserve relationships, and support long-term success across generations. Our approach balances legal precision with the unique dynamics of family involvement in business.
Our services include:

Family Constitutions & Governance Frameworks
We help families articulate shared values, decision-making protocols, and leadership roles through legally sound governance frameworks. These frameworks promote accountability, transparency, and continuity—ensuring the business operates smoothly while preserving family unity.
02
Succession Planning & Shareholder Agreements
We craft succession plans and shareholder agreements that define clear pathways for ownership and leadership transitions. Our goal is to minimize uncertainty, protect the interests of all parties, and ensure that the business remains stable and competitive through generational change.

Trust Setup and Management
We advise on the establishment and administration of private, family, and discretionary trusts to protect assets, ensure succession, and meet estate planning objectives. We guide clients in selecting suitable trustees, defining trust purposes, and maintaining regulatory compliance.
04
Corporate Trustee Services
Acting as independent corporate trustees, we bring professional oversight, neutrality, and accountability to the management of trusts. Our role includes fiduciary duties, asset distribution, and compliance with trust deeds and applicable law.
05
Wealth Protection & Tax Efficiency
We help clients preserve wealth and advance their legacy through carefully structured vehicles such as holding entities, trusts, and offshore arrangements. Our strategies mitigate legal and tax exposure while also supporting philanthropic goals through compliant, purpose-driven giving structures like charitable trusts and foundations.
