Kenyan employment law is protective, procedural and unforgiving of shortcuts. A dismissal that is substantively justified can still cost an employer twelve months' salary if the process was wrong. We help employers get the process right, and we help employees whose rights have been overlooked.

We advise on the full employment relationship, from recruitment and contracts through discipline, restructuring and exit, and we represent parties before the Employment and Labour Relations Court and in labour arbitration. Our experience includes acting in employment disputes involving diplomatic missions and international organisations, where questions of immunity and jurisdiction add a further layer.

Who We Act For

Employers of all sizes, HR directors, multinationals with expatriate staff, senior executives negotiating entry or exit, and employees pursuing claims.
