About

After 15 years experience in Tier 1 and 2 companies in industries including:

  • oil and gas;

  • energy;

  • technology;

  • engineering; and

  • construction,

Flora Wambeti saw first-hand, what small and medium size businesses were willing to sacrifice to win tenders and jobs from large Tier 1 companies.

The impact of decisions made in haste or even fear can be devastating for an SME. Flora has seen the results of ill-informed decision-making (often unknowingly and with good intent), from a position of being unable to help.

With those accounts mounting over the years, Flora made the decision to use her experience and expertise to help small and medium businesses navigate, with confidence and success, the complexities of construction law.

We protect you from the nitty-gritty in “terms and conditions”

After drafting, negotiating and managing numerous contracts with customers, contractors and suppliers, there is no question that terms and conditions for project work have become more and more complex and demanding on those businesses, whilst they are also on the ground performing the project work.

Small to medium size companies are often tempted to improvise and ‘wing it’ when faced with terms and conditions which the Tier 1 giants have proposed in a project. Unwittingly or unknowingly, however, they may be accepting huge risks.

Engaging and working with a specialised construction lawyer, protects you and your business.

Our aim is to make construction law easy for you

Once the job has been won, the task of contract administration and management has also become more and more onerous and time-consuming. This can add extra costs to the job and can ‘make or break’ the client relationship.

Wambeti Legal was founded to give businesses involved in projects, access to smart strategies and advice for the full life cycle of the project without the hefty fees and complex advice you would expect from a traditional large law firm.
