At ICON LAW, we have at your service a dedicated team of advocates and consultants to handle your criminal law matters. We walk with you right from the time you receive summons from the Police or any other law and order or Security enforcement agency.

We are always at your service as soon as you even receive credible information of any intended proceedings against you, your employees, agents or relations. We believe in engagement with law enforcement officers to be able to resolve and settle matters at the earliest time if this is possible.

However, our advocates will also ensure that in case of criminal, quasi criminal or related administrative proceedings, your constitutionally, as well as internationally protected rights such as those of being told the charges against you, ensuring that you are represented by a lawyer of your choice from the police up to the courts of law, the rights to be released on police bond, the right to bail during trial, the right to habeas corpus (production before courts of law in case of detention), the rights to disclosure of evidence against you before trial as well as all other guarantees of a fair trial before a competent court or tribunal are respected.

We also represent individuals and other parties wishing to commence proceedings; or against whom proceedings have been commenced before national, regional and international courts and tribunals, commissions, quasi-judicial bodies such as Human Rights Commissions, Military and Police Tribunals, or courts such as the East African Court of Justice, the African Commission on Human & Peoples Rights, the African Court on Human & Peoples Rights, different United Nations Adhoc Tribunals  as well as permanent  multilateral courts such as the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
