The Process of Drafting and Reviewing Business Contracts

Initially, we conduct a detailed consultation to ascertain your business objectives, potential risks, and desired outcomes. This is followed by rigorous drafting, ensuring clarity on terms, conditions, liabilities, payment schedules, dispute resolution mechanisms (including referencing the benefits of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), a service we also excel in), and governing law. For existing contracts, our review process meticulously identifies potential loopholes or areas of non-compliance with Kenyan statutes like the Companies Act, 2015, and the Sale of Goods Act, providing actionable recommendations for amendments.
