Your Business, Our Solutions.
Overview
Kenya's manufacturing sector encompasses food processing, textiles, building materials, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and light manufacturing. Manufacturers face NEMA environmental compliance, OSHA workplace safety, KEBS product standards, KRA customs, and county licensing.
We advise manufacturers on regulatory compliance, employment law, commercial contracts, IP protection, cross-border trade, and dispute resolution.
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 manufacturing
Four commitments specific to this practice.

Supply chains papered properly
Supply, distribution and manufacturing agreements drafted to be enforced.
Trade and customs compliance
Export controls, AGOA preference requirements and EAC and COMESA rules.
Employment and environmental regulation
The two areas that most often halt a production line.
