Corporate law in Kenya shapes the formation, management, and dissolution of companies. The Companies Act 2015 modernized corporate governance by introducing provisions on director duties, shareholder rights, and financial reporting. It ensures that companies operate transparently and responsibly.

Incorporation involves complying with statutory requirements, including drafting articles of association and registering with the Registrar of Companies. Ongoing compliance includes holding annual general meetings, filing returns, and maintaining statutory registers. Failure to comply can result in penalties and legal challenges.

Legal professionals assist companies in navigating corporate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and restructuring. They ensure that corporate actions are legally sound and in the best interests of stakeholders. Strong corporate governance fosters investor confidence and contributes to the stability and growth of Kenya’s corporate sector.
