Corporate & Commercial Law

We support businesses across their full growth cycle, from formation and structuring to complex transactions, governance and day-to-day legal advisory. Our commercial practice is built to meet the needs of startups, SMEs, investor-backed ventures, family-owned enterprises and established corporates navigating Kenya’s dynamic regulatory and business environment.

‍

We draft and review a wide range of commercial agreements, from high value instruments to everyday operational contracts. These include shareholder agreements, joint ventures, sale of business agreements, commercial leases, service-level agreements, distribution and supply contracts, franchise agreements, NDAs and technology licensing arrangements. We have advised on M&A transactions, convertible debt instruments, Shariah-compliant financing models and private equity documentation, ensuring legal clarity and commercial workability in every deal.

Our regulatory advisory spans licensing, capital raising, data protection, competition law, employment compliance, tax structuring and sector-specific obligations. We also help foreign entities establish presence in Kenya, including branch and subsidiary setup, immigration compliance and local partner frameworks.

We don’t just review contracts, we identify leverage, protect risk points and ensure your commercial documentation aligns with your growth strategy. Whether you’re a founder, director, investor or general counsel, we help you make sound, legally secure business decisions.
