Explore our case studies to see how we solve complex legal challenges and deliver successful outcomes for our clients across various industries.
A mid-sized financial services company operating in Kenya was flagged for potential non-compliance with the Data Protection Act. With growing scrutiny from both the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner and customers, they needed urgent legal guidance to avoid regulatory fines, reputational damage and loss of client trust. Their biggest challenge? Making sense of the law and applying it practically across their customer onboarding, marketing and HR processes, all while staying operational.
We began with a focused legal and technical audit, mapping out how the company collects, uses and stores personal data. We then: 1. Identified critical compliance gaps; 2. Developed a practical action plan aligned with Kenya’s data protection requirements; 3. Drafted internal policies on data collection that were both legally sound and easy to apply; 4. Provided training for staff and leadership on data handling best practices. Our approach was designed for usability ensuring the team could apply the law without hiring new departments or halting business operations.
A fast-growing Kenyan startup discovered that key elements of its software interface and branded visuals had been copied and repackaged by a larger competitor. Without registered rights or a clear legal strategy, they risked erosion of market trust and difficulty attracting investment.
We moved swiftly to assert their copyright over original software elements and initiated industrial design registration to cover the visual presentation. Legal notices were issued, warning of infringement and demanding immediate take-down. We also developed a long-term IP protection roadmap, including formal registrations, NDAs, licensing strategies and partner contracts, to support fundraising and scale.
A mid-sized retail business was accused of violating employment laws, including allegations of wage underpayment and wrongful termination. The claims posed not only legal risk but also significant reputational damage, especially with ongoing recruitment and client-facing visibility.
Our firm acted swiftly to contain the issue. We launched a discreet internal audit to assess compliance records, advised the client on employer obligations under Kenyan labour law and initiated a structured negotiation process. Our goal, prevent escalation while protecting the business’s long-term reputation.
