Direct partner involvement
Experienced advisors remain close to the brief, the analysis, stakeholder engagement, and delivery.
Who We Are
Built for decisions where regulation and strategy meet.
Obsidian Consult exists to help clients succeed in complex, highly regulated markets through direct senior attention and practical regional insight.
Our clients need more than compliance checklists. They need advisors who understand the regulatory environment from the inside, anticipate change, and engage effectively with regulators, governments, and industry bodies.
The Firm
Senior judgement is not delegated.
Founded by three senior practitioners with more than 46 years of combined experience, Obsidian Consult is structured around partner-led service.
Every engagement is led and delivered by a partner. Clients receive focused senior attention backed by deep sector knowledge, established relationships, and cross-jurisdictional reach across East Africa.
The firm works at the intersection of law, regulation, governance, and public policy, advising institutions that must understand both the rules and the commercial realities shaping their application.
Our Approach
Precision, discretion, and regional fluency.
Obsidian’s working model is designed around the needs of senior decision-makers operating in regulated environments.
Inside understanding
Advice is grounded in regulatory architecture, legislative history, institutional context, and commercial consequences.
