Corporate Law

Every business begins with a decision about structure, and that decision shapes everything that follows — how it raises capital, how it is governed, and how liability is shared among its owners. We work with founders, boards, and shareholders through each of these stages, from the initial choice of vehicle through to the governance framework that keeps a growing business compliant and defensible.

Kenya's Companies Act, 2015 sets out detailed requirements for incorporation, directors' duties, share capital, and corporate records, and the practical cost of getting these wrong is rarely felt until a transaction, dispute, or regulatory review brings it to light. Corporate governance today extends well beyond those statutory basics — boards are increasingly expected to account for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, conflict-of-interest policies, and broader compliance frameworks, not just company law formalities. We build governance structures that hold up under that scrutiny, from properly constituted boards to shareholder agreements that anticipate disagreement rather than assume it away.

When businesses combine, divide, or change hands, we act on the Kenyan side of mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings, coordinating due diligence, drafting transaction documents, and securing the regulatory approvals a deal depends on.
