Practical Employment & Labour Law Solutions
Our Employment Law practice advises both employers and employees on the full range of employment and labour relations matters. We understand that employment issues are sensitive, time-critical, and have significant implications for both businesses and individuals. Our approach is to provide clear, practical guidance that protects our clients' interests while ensuring compliance with Kenya's employment legislation.
We advise on matters arising under the Employment Act, the Labour Relations Act, the Work Injury Benefits Act, and related regulations. Our practice covers the entire employment lifecycle — from recruitment and onboarding through to performance management, disciplinary processes, restructuring, and termination. We also handle complex collective bargaining matters, trade union relations, and industrial action disputes.
Our litigation team has extensive experience representing clients before the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC), the Industrial Court, and appellate courts on employment disputes ranging from unfair termination and discrimination claims to redundancy challenges and restraint of trade enforcement.
