Webinar with Kaplan & Stratton Advocates

Navigating Regulatory Compliance in Kenya.

Today’s insightful webinar session led by Sarah Kiarie-Muia, Partner at Kaplan & Stratton offered a deep dive into Kenya’s maturing regulatory landscape, highlighting why compliance is not optional, it’s a critical business enabler that impacts market access, board accountability, deal execution and stakeholder trust.

Key takeaways from the session:
The compliance landscape is expanding-Businesses must actively manage licenses, permits, returns and director or data changes to avoid penalties.

Data protection is under the microscope-Documentation is not optional it’s your legal defense.

Contracts are compliance tools- Contracts should operationalize compliance, particularly in areas like data protection, ESG and licensing.

Employment compliance has high visibility- Employers must ensure contracts, safety, proper termination and immigration processes are compliant.

ESG & consumer protection are now business imperatives-Disclosure and enforcement are rising especially in high-impact sectors.

Competition law is aggressively enforced- Businesses must train teams and conduct regular audits to stay ahead.

Compliance is no longer about avoiding fines. It is about enabling business continuity, investor confidence and seamless transactions. In today’s environment, businesses must be proactive, not reactive.
