Labour & Employment Law

The employer-employee relationship is governed by a detailed statutory framework in Kenya, and both employers and employees benefit from clear, practical legal guidance to navigate it. Our firm has significant experience advising clients on labour and employment law, as well as on the broader human resource management issues that arise in the workplace.

Our services in this area include:

• Employment contracts - drafting, reviewing, and advising on employment contracts, ensuring they are compliant with the Employment Act and tailored to the specific needs of the employer or employee.
• Workplace policies - preparing HR policies, codes of conduct, and disciplinary procedures that help employers maintain fair and legally sound workplace practices.
• Disciplinary processes and terminations - advising employers on how to lawfully manage disciplinary hearings, terminations, and redundancies, minimizing the risk of subsequent disputes.
• Employment disputes - advising and representing clients in disputes arising out of employment relationships, including claims for unfair termination, unpaid dues, and breach of employment terms.
• Human resource guidance - advising clients on the legal dimensions of human resource management, including matters relating to employee welfare, statutory deductions, and workplace conduct.

We recognize that employment issues often carry a personal dimension, whether for an employee facing termination or an employer trying to manage a workforce responsibly. We aim to provide advice that is not only legally sound but also practical and sensitive to the realities of the workplace, helping both sides reach fair and lasting resolutions.
