Navigating the Legal Framework for Kenyan Businesses

Operating a business in Kenya requires a thorough understanding of various statutory instruments and regulatory bodies. Key legislation includes the Companies Act, 2015, the Insolvency Act, 2015, the Commercial Registration Act, 2015, and various sector-specific regulations. Entities must also comply with tax laws enforced by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and labour laws under the Employment Act, 2007. Furthermore, industry-specific regulators like the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) for financial services or the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) play significant roles. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates possesses an in-depth grasp of these legal and regulatory requirements, enabling us to provide astute advice on corporate governance, contract drafting, intellectual property protection, and regulatory compliance.
