BUSINESS • TAX • SUCCESSION

Tailored solutions for your unique journey

Your needs are unique, and so are our approaches. We listen closely to what matters most to you and design solutions with you in mind, every step of the way.

Our Values

Human Warmth

We build relationships before transactions. Every engagement begins with empathy, respect, and genuine care, because behind every structure is a story, and behind every story, a person.

Discretion & Trust

We safeguard more than assets. We protect confidence. Our clients rely on our complete discretion and our unwavering integrity, knowing that what matters most is handled with quiet care.

Legal Precision

We bring accuracy, rigour, and foresight to every matter. From contracts to courtrooms, our clients trust that every move is sound, strategic, and defensible.

Commercial Wisdom

We understand how law and business intersect. Every contract, structure, and negotiation is guided by both legal mastery and commercial sense so our clients make moves that are defensible, profitable, and built to last

Tax Efficiency

We see tax as strategy, not arithmetic. Having defended our clients before tax authorities and tribunals, we understand how the law is applied and therefore, design compliant, value-driven structures that withstand both audits and time

At Ithera Africa, that word is our philosophy. It reflects our belief that wealth, when well-structured, becomes more than possession, it becomes purpose.

The name also carries a personal echo of Waithera, the Founder, a reminder that our work is deeply human and rooted in care. We see every client relationship as a trust, to protect, to grow, and to pass on wisely.

In this way, Ithera is both global and intimate: a firm fluent in the language of serious expertise, yet grounded in the understanding that every wealth journey is profoundly personal.

Tax Advisory

Tax isn’t just compliance — it’s strategy.

Our strength lies in experience: combining legal mastery, negotiation skill, and courtroom expertise. We’ve represented clients in landmark cases that shaped how tax is interpreted in Kenya, including:

The taxation of UN salaries | The non-application of royalties on software distribution | The tariff classification of premixes and fertilisers.

When to call us:

Before you sign: For tax structuring and agreement support, anticipating impact before commitments.
After you sign: To scan agreements for hidden exposures before they escalate.
At any stage: For strategic tax planning and health checks.
Upon assessment: To evaluate the legality and strength of KRA claims.
During enforcement: To act swiftly against freezes, agency notices, or garnishees.
In defence: Before the Tax Appeals Tribunal, High Court, or Court of Appeal.
For capacity building: Through tax training and toolkits that help your team manage risks early.

We also collaborate with auditors and accountants to deliver integrated, defensible tax advice, ensuring every decision is informed and strategic.

Because the cost of a tax mistake is always higher than the cost of good advice.

Private Wealth & Succession Advisory

Globally, over 70% of people and businesses lack a succession plan. In Kenya, the absence of a will often leads to long, painful court battles and family conflict.
We help you stay in control while building structures that protect your legacy. With our Family Governance Framework, your dependents engage with your wealth under your guidance, not through the courts or by chance. We create clear, enduring wealth structures supported by airtight legal systems for you.

We offer:

Wealth planning and structuring tools
Advice on viable tax exemptions
Estate planning
Cross-border asset movement

Growth Stage:

As your business expands, every decision carries weight — tax, regulatory, and operational.
Through our retained advisory model, we bring clarity and strategy before compliance becomes costly. We help you:

Structure growth transactions — Partnerships, acquisitions, and investor entries — to ensure every deal is tax-efficient and enforceable.
Navigate shifting frameworks in tax, employment, and regulation so you remain protected and prepared.
Strengthen governance through shareholder agreements, resolutions, and board policies for sustainable growth.
Equip your team with toolkits, training, and implementation support that turn compliance into daily action.

Growth should never outpace structure. We help your business mature without costly legal or tax mistakes.

Start-up Stage:

The right structure defines how you grow, how you’re taxed, and how you protect your future.

Whether it’s a Company (local or foreign), LLP, Public Benefit Organisation, or Trust, structure is everything.

Our Business Foundations service ensures you:

Choose a structure aligned with your model — strategic, tax-efficient, and legally sound.
Access pre-tax planning and compliance support that keeps your business secure, predictable, and audit-ready.

Because in business, foresight is always cheaper than hindsight. We blend legal insight and tax strategy to help you start right, grow smart, and preserve wealth with confidence.
