Overview

After being called to the bar in 2010, Carole Theuri began to practise human rights law. She is a qualified advocate of the High Court of Kenya and a trained mediator, having attained her law degree from the University of Kent, UK, in 2007. In addition to founding her own law firm Muthoni Advocates, Theuri is a consultant for Rouse Africa. Theuri graduated with a master’s in IP from Stellenbosch University in South Africa, before joining Rouse Africa in October 2015.

Theuri handles anti-counterfeit matters for global brands and multinational companies in Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania, and IP enforcement in Ethiopia. She recently managed phase one of a continent-wide (17 jurisdictions) change in portfolio details as a result of a merger, a difficult task when registry records are filed manually in almost every African jurisdiction.
