Mergers & Acquisitions Lawyers in Nairobi

Kenya is one of East Africa's most active markets for mergers and acquisitions, attracting interest from local conglomerates, private equity firms, and multinational corporations. Every M&A transaction, whether a share purchase, asset acquisition, or merger, requires meticulous legal planning to manage regulatory approvals, protect value, and ensure a smooth transition.

LHK Advocates advises buyers, sellers, and investors on all aspects of M&A transactions. Our services span the entire deal lifecycle from initial structuring and due diligence through negotiation, Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) approvals, sector-specific regulatory clearances, and post-completion integration support.

We have experience across a range of sectors including financial services, manufacturing, technology, real estate, and energy. Our team understands the regulatory landscape, including the Competition Act requirements for merger notification and the sector-specific approval requirements that apply in regulated industries.
