We are dedicated to navigating the complex legal landscape of the financial sector, ensuring compliance, and fostering innovation.
Banking and Financial Institutions Law governs the regulation, operations, and transactions of banks, credit unions, insurance companies, and other financial entities. It covers a broad spectrum of legal areas, including regulatory compliance, lending and credit transactions, project financing, securities, mergers and acquisitions, and financial litigation. In Kenya, this area of law is primarily regulated by statutes such as the Banking Act, Central Bank of Kenya Act, and Capital Markets Act, overseen by regulatory bodies like the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and Capital Markets Authority (CMA).
