About / Access to Justice
Justice is the firm's founding subject.
"Insaaf" means justice. Before this was a commercial firm, its partners were building Somalia's justice system — from the bench, from the ministry, from the prosecutor's office. The commercial practice funds the continuation of that work; it does not replace it.
THE RECORD
Not a CSR page — a work record. The firm's justice-sector engagements are documented on the Experience page like everything else.
The National Legal Aid Policy
Drafted for the Ministry of Justice — the framework for how Somalis who cannot pay for counsel get it anyway.
Three years of justice research
The Shari'ah-and-justice research partnership under USAID's access-to-justice program — including the finding that for women, minority clans and at-risk youth, strengthening Shari'ah institutions is itself an access-to-justice strategy.
Building the profession
Judges trained, prosecutors supported, mock-trial programmes mentored at the Supreme Court in Nairobi — and a firm bench that teaches: one of our associates lectures at university alongside her practice.
Traditional dispute resolution
The national policy on traditional dispute resolution, reviewed and edited through federal and regional consultations — because most Somali disputes never see a courtroom, and the system should serve those people too.
THE COMMITMENT
The firm takes on justice-sector work — research, policy, teaching and mentoring — as a standing part of its practice, not an annual gesture. If your institution works on access to justice in Somalia and needs legal depth, that conversation is always welcome.
