Key Pillars of Commercial Law in Kenya

The framework for commercial law in Kenya is diverse, encompassing legislation such as the Companies Act, 2015, the Contract Act, 2012, the Sale of Goods Act (Cap 31), and the Insolvency Act, 2015. The Capital Markets Act (Cap 485A) governs financial markets, while the Competition Act, 2010, promotes fair market practices. Regulatory bodies like the Business Registration Service (BRS), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) play significant roles in enforcing specific commercial regulations. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd possesses in-depth knowledge of these statutes and the operational mandates of these institutions. We advise on corporate governance, structuring transactions, drafting robust agreements, and ensuring adherence to all relevant legal requirements, from incorporation to dissolution.
