FAQs
To register a business in Kenya, you need to conduct a name search via the eCitizen portal, prepare the necessary documents, and obtain the required licenses and tax registrations. The process varies based on business structure (sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited company). For tailored guidance, reach out to us for expert legal support.
Kenyan labor laws protect employees from unfair dismissal. If you believe you were dismissed without just cause or due process, you may have grounds for compensation or reinstatement. The Employment Act outlines employer obligations, but each case is unique. Speak to us for a case evaluation and legal advice.
To avoid land fraud, conduct an official title deed search at the Ministry of Lands, verify ownership and land history, and ensure all transactions are documented with a lawyer present. Proper due diligence is crucial before making any payments. We can help you navigate the legal process to ensure a smooth transaction.
A legally binding will must be in writing, signed by the testator (person making the will), and witnessed by at least two competent individuals. It should clearly outline asset distribution and beneficiary details. Let us help you draft a will that safeguards your legacy and prevents future disputes.
The best approach depends on the contract terms and dispute resolution clauses. Options include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or legal action if necessary. We can assess your contract and provide strategic legal solutions to protect your interests.
To protect your brand or invention, you need to register trademarks, patents, or copyrights. This prevents unauthorized use and grants you exclusive rights. We can guide you through the registration and enforcement process to secure your intellectual property.
