Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register a company in Kenya?

Company registration in Kenya is done through the eCitizen portal. You need to conduct a name search, draft the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and submit the required forms (CR1, CR2, CR8). Our corporate lawyers can handle the entire process to ensure full legal compliance.

What is the role of a commercial lawyer in a joint venture?

A commercial lawyer helps structure the joint venture, drafts the joint venture agreement to clearly define roles, profit sharing, and dispute resolution mechanisms, and ensures the partnership complies with Kenyan corporate laws and antitrust regulations.

How can I protect my intellectual property in Kenya?

Intellectual property in Kenya is protected by registering trademarks, patents, or copyrights with the Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI) or the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO). Our firm assists in registration, licensing, and enforcement of IP rights.
