Community Conservancies: Protecting Land, Rights and Benefits
A conservancy on community land is not just a conservation or tourism project. It is a land decision that can affect access, grazing, settlement, income, governance and future control of the land. Before any agreement is signed, the community should confirm land status, legal authority, community consent, benefit sharing, investor obligations and dispute resolution. Conservation should protect the land without weakening the community’s rights over it.
Before You Add a Director or Shareholder: What Companies Should Check First
A company should not add directors, shareholders or investors casually. These decisions affect ownership, control, voting rights, management powers, profits, liability and future disputes. Before making changes, a company should review its articles, confirm the role being given, document shareholding or investment terms, disclose beneficial ownership where required, and keep company records updated. Clear company structures, written agreements and proper records help prevent internal disputes before they arise.
Before You Fire an Employee: The Legal Process Kenyan Employers Must Get Right
A proper termination process protects the employer before a dispute arises. In Kenya, an employer should not only have a valid reason for dismissal, but must also follow a fair process by documenting the issue, informing the employee, allowing a response, holding a proper hearing, and keeping clear records. Poorly handled termination can expose a business to claims, compensation, legal costs and reputational damage.
