Understanding Kenyan Corporate Succession and Governance Frameworks

In Nairobi, as across Kenya, corporate estate planning is deeply intertwined with national laws such as the Companies Act, 2015, and specific industry regulations. These frameworks govern how ownership is transferred, how directorial roles are managed upon the passing of key individuals, and how the business can continue to thrive. Mwenda Njagi & Co.
