Hiring, managing and separating from staff carry legal weight from day one. We help businesses build compliant employment foundations as they scale, and advise on the fast-moving intersection of labour law and platform & gig work.
Hiring, managing and, when necessary, separating from employees are among the highest-stakes decisions a growing business makes — and among the ones most likely to be handled reactively rather than with legal input built in from the start.
We also advise on the rapidly evolving intersection of Kenyan labour law with platform and gig work, including worker classification questions and emerging international standards.
Scope includes: Employment contracts and policy · termination and redundancy processes · workplace disputes · gig and platform worker classification
Who this is for
Growth-stage businesses hiring, managing or separating from staff, and businesses navigating gig and platform work classification.
Typical situations
- Drafting or updating employment contracts and policy
- Handling a termination or redundancy process
- Responding to a workplace dispute
