Media and entertainment
The Kenyan media
and entertainment industry has slowly entered a golden era.
Liberalization of laws has seen strong growth and has more potential
with Kenya being the fastest growing market in East Africa.
We have acted as legal advisors in the restructuring of leading
television and media companies in Kenya. We continue to provide
legal services relating to joint ventures & collaborations, writers,
directors and producers, performers and actors and to all aspects of
film, television production and finance in and from Kenya.
Conveyacing
and development of real property
We advice on all aspects of conveyancing and development of real
property including the purchase, sale, acquisitions and dispositions of
real estate, licensing, tenancy, leasing, mortgages, charges and
debentures. We also act for leading banks and mortgage finance
companies, advise and act for local and foreign individuals interested
in acquisition and disposition of property, stocks and other interests
in Kenya. We effect registration of transfer documents with the relevant
authority, and advice investors on project development and investment in
real estate for commercial, industrial or residential purposes.
Infrastracture
The term infrastructure has diverse meanings in different fields but is
most widely understood to refer to utilities especially roads and
airports.
We advice and arbitrate on emerging legal issues including construction
law, collections, builders liens, investment strategies and technology
industry analysis to hasten the implementation of the expanding
infrastructure throughout the country.
Presidential and parliamentary election petitions
Kenya has been a multi-party democracy since 1992 when the constitution
was amended to allow the return of multi-party democracy. Since then,
multi-party presidential and parliamentary elections are held every five
years.
Under the Kenyan electoral law, the election of a successful candidate
can be challenged in the High Court of Kenya. We advise on and represent
parties to election petitions filed in the High Court both at
parliamentary and presidential elections levels.
International and local consultancies
We advice international and local consultancies on legal regulatory and
compliance, international commercial law, public management, governance

risk assessment and integrated logistics & financial planning. We advice

and advice international donor agencies on key regulations affecting
private sector development in Kenya, franchises, foreign investment &
immigration law.
Taxation
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) under the Ministry of Finance is the
tax collection agency in Kenya. It was formed in 1995 to enhance tax
collection on behalf of the Government and has been administering tax
laws in Kenya ever since.
