The Drafting Process: From Consultation to Execution

Our process for providing legal document drafting services in Kenya is client-centric and thorough. It begins with a detailed consultation to fully understand your specific objectives, circumstances, and the context in which the document will be used. This allows us to conduct necessary legal due diligence and identify potential risks or opportunities. Following this, our legal experts meticulously draft the document, incorporating all necessary clauses, legal definitions, and contingencies. We then present the draft for your review, incorporating feedback and making revisions until the document precisely reflects your intentions. For documents requiring registration or stamping, such as those related to property or certain contracts, we advise on compliance with the Stamp Duty Act and facilitate the necessary procedures at relevant government registries (e.g., Company Registry at Sheria House or local land offices). Our rigorous process ensures accuracy, legal compliance, and that the final document is fit for purpose and legally binding.
