Labour Law

Every employment relationship in Kenya operates within a framework of statutory protections — the Employment Act, the Labour Relations Act, and the Work Injury Benefits Act, among others — that most employers only encounter in detail once something has already gone wrong. We advise employers and employees on what those protections actually require, before a dispute forces the question.

We draft and review employment contracts, advise on lawful disciplinary process and termination, and represent clients before the Employment and Labour Relations Court when a dispute can't be resolved directly. Getting the process right at every stage — not just the final decision — is usually what determines whether a termination holds up.

For employers managing a growing workforce, we also advise on policy design, redundancy processes, and collective bargaining matters, so that day-to-day workplace decisions are made with the legal framework in mind rather than discovered after the fact.
