Our story
Muhonde Attorneys is a general practice law firm based in Harare and Francistown, practicing throughout Zimbabwe, Botswana and the region.
Muhonde Attorneys was launched in 2012 by founding partner and principal Tich Muhonde. Today, the law firm consists of 4 qualified legal practitioners and 4 administrative staff.
We practice law according to strong legal, business and personal ethics and are guided by principles of transparency, quality, unity and integrity.
At every step we delve beyond the specific legal issue in order to better understand the “why?”.

In 2017 Tich Muhonde was admitted as an attorney in Botswana.
