Lessina-Mariah Mulenga
Founder & Managing Partner
At YMS Legal Practitioners, Lessina-Mariah Mulenga leads with one clear mission: to make the law accessible, understandable, and empowering—especially in the areas of immigration, citizenship, and human mobility. With over 16 years of experience in legal practice, education, and policy, she brings clarity to clients navigating complex immigration systems and ensures they are not just represented, but understood and equipped.
As founder and managing partner, she leads a dedicated team of legal professionals committed to excellence, integrity, and innovation. Together, the YMS Legal team provides responsive and personalized services tailored to each client’s needs—whether in immigration litigation, strategic permit applications, or appeals and judicial review. The firm’s collaborative approach means clients benefit from the collective expertise and shared commitment of every team member.
Lessina’s leadership is hands-on and deeply intentional. She works closely with clients to simplify legal processes, break down policy into practical steps, and ensure they feel confident making informed decisions. Under her guidance, YMS Legal Practitioners offers more than legal representation—it offers tools, insight, and peace of mind.
Every service at YMS Legal Practitioners is rooted in a shared belief: that migration, when well-managed, can become a powerful engine for Africa’s development.
