Elizabeth Wanjeri Wangui is a seasoned Kenyan advocate and a pivotal leader within the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). With over 19 years of legal experience, she currently serves as the LSK Council Member representing the Coast Region (2024–2026). In February 2026, she launched a high-profile bid for the Vice Presidency of the LSK, campaigning on a platform of "Impactful Service" and member welfare reform. She is the founder and Managing Partner of E.W. Wanjeri & Company Advocates, a firm she established in 2013 after initially training in the pharmaceutical field before pivoting to law. A fierce advocate for the "common lawyer," Wanjeri has distinguished herself by pushing for practical reforms that directly benefit LSK members. During her tenure on the council, she successfully moved motions to scrap fees for Certificates of Good Standing and significantly reduced the cost of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) seminars. She also serves as the Co-Convenor of the LSK Gender Committee, where she has been instrumental in drafting sexual harassment policies for law firms. Her leadership style is defined by a push for decentralization, advocating for more funds to be devolved to LSK branches to better serve lawyers outside Nairobi.
