Hansen is a vibrant and accomplished advocate of the High Court of Kenya, wielding extensive experience in law, mediation, public policy, and legal research. As the Managing Partner at the firm, Hansen combines razor-sharp legal acumen with a forward-thinking vision, delivering stellar results while inspiring excellence across his team.

Hansen's career is marked by impactful roles at leading firms, including MAK & Partners Advocates LLP, Mosioma & Co. Advocates, and Ashitiva Advocates LLP. He has successfully led the restructuring of six companies with a combined asset base exceeding Ksh 800 million and overseen development projects worth over Ksh 3 billion. Among his notable achievements is providing legal oversight for a landmark 312-unit housing development for Kenya Airways staff, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements.

Hansen's innovative approach shines through his establishment of advanced research and knowledge management departments, setting new benchmarks in his field. His thought leadership is further demonstrated by his co-authorship of a widely acclaimed dissertation on the East African Community Common Market Protocol. From perfecting securities for prominent financial institutions such as KCB Bank, Kingdom Bank, Victoria Commercial Bank, UNFCU and UNSACCO to expertly representing them in court, Hansen’s portfolio reflects a diverse and impressive blend of expertise and accomplishment.

He has also championed access to justice for vulnerable groups, including providing pro bono representation in gender-based violence cases and discrimination of persons living with HIV.

Beyond the legal sphere, he wears multiple hats with flair, serving as Chairman of Stingers Rugby Club and Secretary to the Kenya Rugby Union Constitution Review Committee, where he drives impactful reforms.

Here’s a fun twist—when he’s not reshaping Kenya’s legal landscape or crafting game-changing policies, Hansen might just surprise you with his hidden talent: he’s a skilled rapper with a knack for dropping bars as smooth as his courtroom arguments! With an unrivaled blend of professionalism, creativity, and a touch of rhythm, Hansen is redefining what it means to lead, inspire, and make a lasting impact.
