Navigating Kenya's Corporate Law and Regulatory Framework

Kenya's corporate landscape is governed by the Companies Act, 2015, which sets out the framework for company registration, governance, and operations. International companies must also adhere to various regulations concerning foreign investment, taxation administered by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), employment laws under the Employment Act, 2007, and sector-specific regulations from bodies like the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) or the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). Our expertise ensures that international clients are fully briefed on these requirements, from initial incorporation to ongoing compliance, safeguarding their operations against legal challenges.
