Why Commercial Agreements Matter in Kenya
A Weak Contract Is
an Open Invitation for Disputes
Most business disputes in Kenya stem from poorly drafted agreements. Ambiguous terms, missing clauses and unenforceable provisions cost businesses millions every year.
Ambiguous Terms & Loopholes
Vague language in commercial agreements gives the other party room to exploit loopholes. What you thought was agreed can be interpreted differently in court — exposing you to liability or loss of revenue.
Unenforceable Contract Terms
Many businesses sign contracts with penalty clauses, restraint of trade provisions or jurisdiction terms that are unenforceable under Kenyan law. When disputes arise, these clauses collapse — leaving you unprotected.
No Exit Strategy or Termination Clause
Businesses often sign agreements without proper termination provisions. When the relationship sours, there's no clear exit path — leading to costly litigation and prolonged obligations you never intended.
Commercial Agreement Services
Every Commercial Agreement
Your Business Needs
- 01Supply & Distribution Agreements
We draft and review supplier contracts, distribution agreements and procurement terms that clearly define obligations, payment schedules, warranties and dispute resolution mechanisms.
- 02Joint Venture & Partnership Agreements
Entering a JV or partnership requires crystal-clear terms on capital contribution, profit sharing, decision-making authority and exit provisions. We structure agreements that prevent future deadlocks.
- 03Shareholder Agreements
We draft shareholder agreements covering voting rights, share transfers, pre-emption rights, tag-along/drag-along provisions and deadlock resolution — protecting minority and majority shareholders alike.
- 04Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
For businesses contracting service providers, we draft SLAs that define performance metrics, penalties for non-delivery, data protection obligations and termination triggers.
- 05Non-Disclosure & Confidentiality Agreements
Protect your trade secrets, business strategies and proprietary information with NDAs that are enforceable under Kenyan law. We tailor confidentiality terms to your specific business needs.
- 06Franchise & Licensing Agreements
We structure franchise agreements and IP licensing deals that protect the licensor's brand while giving franchisees clear operating terms, territory rights and renewal conditions.
- 07Lease & Tenancy Agreements
Commercial lease agreements that clearly define rent escalation, maintenance obligations, permitted use, subletting rights and termination procedures — protecting landlords and tenants.
- 08Contract Review & Negotiation
Before you sign any agreement, we review it for risks, unfavourable terms and legal gaps. We negotiate amendments that shift the balance in your favour while keeping the deal alive.
"A great commercial agreement prevents disputes before they start. We draft contracts that protect your business from day one."

📞 +254 769 554 444 — Call NowWhy can't I just use a contract template from the internet?
+
Generic templates are not drafted for Kenyan law and rarely address the specific risks of your industry or transaction. They often contain unenforceable clauses, miss critical protections and use language that can be exploited. A professionally drafted agreement is tailored to your exact business needs and is enforceable in Kenyan courts.
How much does it cost to have a commercial agreement drafted?
+
Costs vary by complexity. Simple agreements like NDAs start at competitive rates. Complex shareholder agreements or joint venture contracts are priced based on scope. We provide a clear, fixed-fee quote before we begin work — no hidden charges. Your first consultation is free.
How long does it take to draft a commercial agreement?
+
Standard commercial agreements are typically delivered within 3–5 business days. Simple agreements like NDAs can be turned around in 1–2 days. Complex multi-party agreements may take 7–10 days. We also accommodate urgent requests when needed.
Should I have a lawyer review a contract before I sign it?
+
Always. Never sign a commercial agreement without legal review. The other party's lawyer drafted it to protect their client — not you. Our review identifies risks, unfavourable terms and missing protections. We then advise you on amendments to negotiate before signing.
What makes a contract legally binding in Kenya?
+
For a contract to be legally binding in Kenya it requires: an offer, acceptance, consideration (value exchanged), intention to create legal relations, capacity of the parties and legality of purpose. Written contracts are strongly preferred as they are easier to enforce. We ensure all these elements are properly addressed in every agreement we draft.
Can you help with international commercial agreements?
+
Yes. We regularly draft and review cross-border commercial agreements involving Kenyan and international parties. We ensure compliance with both Kenyan law and relevant international trade frameworks, including proper choice of law and jurisdiction clauses, force majeure provisions and currency terms.
