Foreign Direct Investment

D&F advises on all legal aspects of foreign direct investment including legal structures (setting up branch offices, new companies or acting through agents), statutory and regulatory compliance including advising on employment and immigration law issues.

The Firm acts for a large variety of international clients; commercial enterprises, development aid agencies, micro-finance corporations and charitable institutions.

We provide advice on Kenyan compliance issues for foreign companies both in terms of establishing businesses in Kenya and on making investments in Kenyan companies, by way of loans and/or equity participations.

We also regularly provide foreign lawyers and investors legal opinions and certifications on Kenyan law issues in conjunction with proposed investments as well as specific legal advice on the tax and other implications of doing business in Kenya.
