Your Business, Our Solutions.
Overview
Kenya's financial services sector operates within one of the most regulated environments in the economy. CBK, IRA, CMA, RBA, and SASRA each impose distinct requirements on supervised entities.
We advise financial institutions, insurers, investment firms, and fintechs on regulatory compliance, licensing, transactional advisory, dispute resolution, and product structuring.
Most matters cross two or three of these.
Describe the situation in your own words. We will tell you what it actually involves, which services it touches, and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.
Why clients instruct us for financial services
Four commitments specific to this practice.
Licensing pathways mapped end to end
CBK, CMA and insurance regulatory routes, with filings and timelines set out before you start.
AML and KYC frameworks that pass inspection
Built against Financial Reporting Centre expectations and FATF standards.
Product structuring with the regulator in mind
We advise on what will be approved, not only on what is lawful.
Disputes handled by the same firm
Regulatory advisory and contested matters under one roof.
