Somo Group

We support law firms, in-house legal departments, and litigation teams by reinforcing the evidentiary foundation of their cases. Our work includes skip tracing and subject location, court process service with properly documented affidavits, and structured asset tracing in support of recovery proceedings. We conduct witness identification and background profiling where required, and provide pre-litigation intelligence that strengthens case strategy. In matters involving fraud, internal misconduct, or complex commercial disputes, we gather and document evidence with procedural discipline, ensuring findings are defensible and aligned with admissibility standards within the legal systems of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

We assist boards, private equity firms, corporate advisors, and transaction counsel in identifying hidden risks prior to capital deployment or acquisition. Through investigative due diligence, we assess reputational exposure, beneficial ownership structures, governance risks, and regulatory vulnerabilities. We conduct integrity assessments of promoters and directors, evaluate conflict-of-interest exposure, and examine historical patterns of misconduct that may affect transaction value. Our objective is to surface material risks that may not appear in conventional financial audits, thereby safeguarding investment decisions and supporting long-term enterprise stability.

We partner with manufacturers and industrial enterprises to protect intellectual property, brand integrity, and supply chain security. Our investigations focus on counterfeit product networks, grey-market diversion, and IP-related infringements that undermine market position. Where internal vulnerabilities arise, we conduct structured investigations into inventory shrinkage, employee misconduct, and vendor-related fraud. Through targeted intelligence gathering and analysis, we support enforcement actions and strategic interventions aimed at preserving commercial value and operational control.

We support financial institutions in managing internal fraud risks, employee misconduct, and third-party exposure. Our work includes asset misappropriation tracing, borrower risk profiling, and integrity assessments aligned with compliance and anti-money laundering expectations. We assist risk and compliance teams in identifying patterns of abuse or financial irregularities, ensuring investigative findings are structured to support regulatory reporting obligations and internal governance frameworks.

We assist developers, investors, and property managers in mitigating transactional and occupancy-related risks. Our services include background investigations on prospective tenants or partners, intelligence support in land or title disputes, and due diligence in property acquisitions. We conduct occupancy verification and asset tracing in contentious matters, helping to protect investments and reinforce transaction confidence in complex environments.
