Navigating the Legal and Regulatory Landscape of Kenyan Corporate Restructuring

Corporate debt restructuring in Kenya requires a deep understanding of several key legal statutes and regulatory bodies. The primary legislation includes the Companies Act, 2015, which outlines procedures for company arrangements and reconstructions, and the Insolvency Act, 2015, providing frameworks for receivership, liquidation, and administration. Creditors' rights, secured and unsecured, are also a crucial consideration under these acts. Depending on the nature of the debt, regulations from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) or the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) might also be relevant. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd meticulously navigates these complexities, ensuring that all restructuring plans comply with Kenyan law, including the requirements for creditor approval and court sanction. Our expertise minimises legal hurdles and maximises the chances of a successful, compliant restructuring.
