Daisy

I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya (non-practising), and I hold degrees from University of Oxford (DPhil Law, 2019), University of London (LLM Commercial & Corporate Law, 2013), and University of Nairobi (LLB, 2006). After my undergraduate degree, and admission to the Bar, I worked as an associate in the litigation department of Kenya’s leading law firm, Oraro & Company Advocates. After six years at the firm, during which I had the opportunity to make numerous oral arguments before judges of the High Court and Court of Appeal, I worked briefly as a tax advisor at Viva Africa LLP, a highly rated tax advisory firm in Nairobi. In 2013, I accepted a full-time position as a fixed-term assistant lecturer at Strathmore Law School, where I set-up and directed the Strathmore Tax Research Centre. I left Strathmore to commence my DPhil in Oxford in 2014; I recently completed my doctoral research on the taxation of ‘hard-to-tax’ professionals in Africa and was awarded one of the 53 prestigious British Academy-funded Postdoctoral Fellowships in 2019.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Teaching Experience: I have substantial teaching experience in Tort, Contract and Tax Law at various University of Oxford Colleges. I am happy to receive enquiries regarding tutoring in any of these three subjects.

Research Experience: I research tax law, an inherently inter-disciplinary speciality that draws heavily from scholarly perspectives in economics, politics, and psychology. My research interests are in tax law and policy, constitutionalism and taxation, tax and administrative law, comparative taxation, tax and development, and taxation of the shadow economy and small businesses.
