We collect information directly from you, from authorised third parties acting on your behalf, and through our website and digital platforms.
How We Use Your Information
Corban & Partners uses the personal information we collect solely for legitimate professional purposes, which include the following: delivering and managing the specific services you have engaged us to provide, whether in Family Law, Corporate Law, or Business Audit; verifying your identity and conducting necessary due diligence in accordance with applicable Kenyan regulations; communicating with you regarding the progress, updates, and outcomes of your matter; preparing legal documents, audit reports, and corporate advisory materials on your behalf; maintaining accurate and complete records as required by professional and regulatory obligations; improving the quality of our service delivery and client experience; and sending relevant updates, publications, or service-related communications where you have provided consent. We do not use your personal information for any purpose unrelated to our professional engagement with you.
Information Sharing
Corban & Partners treats all client information with the utmost confidentiality. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party.
