Employment Contract Lawyers in Nairobi
Every employment relationship in Kenya should be governed by a written contract that complies with the Employment Act, 2007. The Act prescribes minimum terms that must be included in employment contracts, including job description, remuneration, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination provisions. Failure to provide written particulars of employment can expose employers to claims and penalties.

For employers, we create comprehensive employment contracts, employee handbooks, and workplace policies that comply with Kenyan law and protect the business. For employees, we review contract offers to ensure fair terms and legal compliance.
