The firm
Built in Lusaka. Since 1992.
A full-service firm, practising without interruption for more than three decades.
Continuity
Few firms in Zambia have practised without interruption for more than three decades. K.B.F. & Partners has. That continuity is what a client instructs.
The story
From one practice to three offices.
The firm was founded in Lusaka in 1992 under Kelvin Fube Bwalya, SC, and grew from a single practice into offices in Lusaka, Livingstone and Choma.
Its advocates appear before the superior courts and advise on the transactions and regulatory matters at the centre of mining, energy and finance in Zambia.

What we stand for
Four words we are held to.
Integrity
The advice you need, not the advice you want. Independence of judgement is the service.
Excellence
Matters are won in preparation. Every opinion is worked until it withstands scrutiny.
Accountability
A named advocate owns each matter. You know who, and you can reach them.
Client focus
We start from what you are trying to achieve and work back to the legal route.
The advocates
Named counsel. Not a department.
Every matter has one advocate responsible for it, from instruction to resolution.
