Our deep understanding of Nairobi's commercial environment and the procedures of the Milimani Commercial Courts ensures we deliver results that matter.

Navigating Nairobi's Commercial Legal Framework

The legal framework for commerce in Nairobi is robust, primarily governed by the Companies Act, 2015, which dictates corporate governance and director responsibilities. When disputes arise, the High Court Commercial & Tax Division, located at Milimani, is the principal venue for resolving high-value commercial claims. As a specialist firm, we are intimately familiar with the evidentiary standards required by these courts. Our work is to build a strong, fact-based case before litigation even begins. This includes gathering crucial evidence like proof of delivery, signed contracts, and correspondence, and undertaking professional asset searches to ensure that any judgment obtained can be successfully enforced.

Furthermore, the Competition Act (No. 12 of 2010) and its enforcement body, the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK), regulate business practices, including debt collection, to prevent unfair or deceptive tactics. Swipe Recoveries operates with the highest level of professionalism and ethical conduct, ensuring that all our recovery activities are fully compliant. This protects your brand's reputation and avoids potential regulatory penalties. Our deep institutional knowledge makes us an invaluable partner to any in-house counsel or external commercial legal firm in Nairobi.

Our Step-by-Step Commercial Recovery Process

Our commercial recovery process is designed for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. It begins with a comprehensive case review and onboarding process where we analyze all documentation to formulate a custom recovery strategy. The first active step is the issuance of a formal Letter of Demand on our letterhead, which carries significant weight and signals a serious intent to recover the debt.

If the demand letter does not yield payment, we escalate our efforts. This includes persistent but professional follow-up calls and, where necessary, initiating skip tracing to locate decision-makers or debt surveillance to understand the debtor company's financial activities. This investigative phase is crucial for B2B debts, where corporate structures can be complex. The intelligence we gather is then used in targeted negotiations or, if required, compiled into a detailed report for your legal counsel to initiate court proceedings. We provide full support throughout the process, from filing the claim to executing the judgment through attachment and auctioneering, all while adhering to the Civil Procedure Act.

Investment & Fees: Commercial Legal Services in Nairobi (KES)

For any commercial legal firm in Nairobi, transparent pricing is a mark of integrity. At Swipe Recoveries, we provide clear, value-driven fee structures. Our core commercial debt recovery service is offered on a contingency fee model. This means you pay us a percentage of the money we actually collect, typically ranging from 8% for large claims to 20% for more complex, smaller debts. This performance-based fee ensures our objectives are 100% aligned with yours and minimizes your financial risk.

For discrete services, such as a comprehensive due diligence report on a potential Nairobi-based partner or an extensive asset search on a corporate debtor, we charge a fixed fee. These fees are quoted upfront and are based on the scope of work. For example, a detailed corporate asset search in Nairobi might cost between KES 60,000 and KES 180,000 + VAT. This investment provides critical business intelligence that can prevent future losses or guarantee the enforceability of a legal claim, offering a significant return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the jurisdiction of the Milimani Commercial Courts in Nairobi?
The Milimani Commercial & Tax Division of the High Court in Nairobi has jurisdiction over commercial and tax disputes valued above KES 20 million. It handles complex cases involving banking, insurance, contracts, intellectual property, and corporate law. For claims below this threshold, the matter is typically filed in the Chief Magistrate's Court (Commercial), also located at Milimani.
How do you handle B2B debt recovery differently from consumer debt?
B2B debt recovery requires a different strategic approach. It often involves navigating complex corporate structures, dealing with procurement and finance departments, and preserving ongoing business relationships where possible. Our approach is firm but highly professional, focusing on negotiation with key decision-makers. The documentation and legal entities involved are also more complex than in consumer debt cases.
Why is your location on Mama Ngina Street advantageous for commercial legal matters?
Our office at International Life Hse, Mama Ngina Street, is in Nairobi's central business and financial district. This prime location provides Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd with immediate proximity to the Milimani Law Courts, the Companies Registry (Sheria House), and the headquarters of major banks and corporations.
