About Peris Kanene

As a seasoned legal professional with over a decade of solid experience in commercial law, intellectual property matters, corporate regulatory compliance, corporate governance issues, and company secretarial consultancy services. I bring a wealth of expertise in navigating complex legal landscapes and delivering strategic counsel to clients. My career journey has been marked by a relentless commitment to achieving optimal results for individuals and businesses alike. With a strong foundation as a governance professional, I've honed my skills in areas such as negotiation, litigation, legal research, and more. I am part of Viva Africa's senior legal team, where I've had the privilege of representing a diverse range of clients, from startups to multinational corporations, guiding them through pivotal legal matters, and providing solutions that align with their goals. From crafting intricate contracts, and leading high-stakes negotiations to advocating in courtrooms, I thrive on the challenge of delivering sound legal advice and advocating vigorously for my client's interests. As a Certified Public Secretary, I provide services such as developing overall legal strategy, overseeing all legal matters within the company, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and laws. I lead legal teams in ensuring that board resolutions are documented and filed in line with laws, advising the board on pertinent issues that require attention among other duties. Beyond my legal practice and public secretary roles, I'm passionate about mentorship and knowledge sharing. I actively engage in speaking engagements, seminars, and workshops to contribute to the legal community and help aspiring lawyers navigate the complexities of both the legal and governance professions. I am continuously seeking opportunities to expand my horizons, embrace new challenges, and contribute my expertise to impactful projects.
