We provide regulatory, transactional, and strategic support for carbon projects and climate-aligned development.
Our approach to Climate Action and Carbon Projects
Ashitiva Advocates LLP is at the forefront of legal advisory in Kenya’s growing climate and carbon ecosystem. We support project developers, financiers, landowners, and corporate buyers in designing, implementing, and transacting carbon credit and climate-aligned projects. Our services span voluntary and compliance markets, helping clients meet sustainability goals while navigating complex legal frameworks.
We provide legal due diligence, project structuring, and contracting support for forestry, renewable energy, waste-to-energy, and other emissions-reduction projects. This includes drafting Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreements (ERPAs), advising on benefit-sharing mechanisms with local communities, and supporting registration under global standards such as Verra and Gold Standard.
Our team also advises on emerging regulatory and policy developments, including Kenya’s carbon market regulations, climate finance frameworks, and ESG compliance obligations. We help clients align their projects with both local and international requirements — ensuring environmental integrity, community inclusion, and legal security from origination to credit issuance and transfer.
