Understanding Corporate Criminal Liability for Foreign Entities in Kenya

Foreign companies in Kenya, including those in bustling commercial hubs like Westlands, can face corporate criminal liability. This can stem from actions of their employees or directors, leading to investigations under frameworks like the Companies Act, 2015, or the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2009. Our advisory services focus on identifying potential risks, implementing robust internal controls, and ensuring adherence to regulations like those governed by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) for listed entities. We aim to prevent legal entanglements before they occur.
