Procedure for Complex Corporate Legal Engagements

Our engagement process for complex corporate tasks is meticulous and results-oriented, designed to meet the high standards of corporate clients.

1. In-Depth Scoping & Due Diligence: For services like M&A support or corporate restructuring, the engagement begins with a deep dive. We conduct thorough legal due diligence, examining corporate records, contracts, pending litigation, and compliance status. For asset tracing, we deploy sophisticated investigation techniques to locate and verify assets tied to complex debt portfolios.

2. Strategic Advisory & Execution Plan: Following the due diligence phase, we present a comprehensive report with our findings and a strategic execution plan. This could be a roadmap for a corporate restructure under The Insolvency Act, 2015, a risk assessment for a potential acquisition, or a multi-pronged strategy for a large-scale debt recovery project. This plan includes clear objectives, timelines, and required resources.

3. Project Management & Senior-Level Reporting: Complex engagements are managed as distinct projects with a dedicated lead from our firm. We provide regular, high-level reporting to your board or management committee, ensuring full transparency and strategic alignment. Our approach is collaborative, working closely with your finance and management teams to execute the plan flawlessly and achieve the desired corporate objectives.

The fee structures for our corporate legal services reflect the complexity, risk, and value involved. We move beyond simple hourly rates to offer sophisticated pricing models that align with our clients' goals.

Project-Based Fixed Fees: For well-defined projects like legal due diligence for an M&A transaction or a corporate governance audit, we often quote a fixed fee. This provides complete cost certainty. A comprehensive due diligence report for a medium-sized enterprise in Kisumu, for instance, could have a project fee starting from KES 250,000 to KES 750,000, depending on the company's complexity.

Blended Rates & Capped Fees: For ongoing complex litigation or advisory, we can offer a blended hourly rate, averaging the costs of senior and junior legal staff. We can also structure a capped fee agreement, where you have a 'not-to-exceed' budget for a particular phase of work.

Success-Based & Contingency Fees: In high-value commercial debt restructuring and asset recovery projects, we can structure our fees to include a significant success-based component. This demonstrates our commitment and directly ties our remuneration to the results we deliver for your corporation.
