Unfair Termination and Dismissal Claims in Kenya

We assess the merits candidly before you litigate, because a lawyer who tells you only what you hope to hear is spending your money on optimism. Where the claim is good, we pursue it before the Employment and Labour Relations Court for the remedies the Act provides, compensation of up to twelve months’ gross salary, terminal dues, and in appropriate cases reinstatement, and we press for settlement where settlement serves you better than judgment. Time matters more than most employees realise, because an employment claim must be brought within three years of the termination and the evidence that wins these cases is freshest at the start.

The cheapest employment dispute is the one that never becomes a claim. We guide disciplinary processes, the notice, the hearing and the record the law requires before a decision, structure redundancies through the consultation and selection the Act demands, and defend claims before the Court where they come. An employer who calls us before the termination letter is signed is in a different position from one who calls after service of the claim, and we say so to every client.
