Securities & Capital Markets Legal Services in Kenya
Kenya's capital markets are regulated by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) under the Capital Markets Act, with the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) serving as the primary trading platform for equities, bonds, and other securities. Participation in the capital markets as an issuer, investor, or intermediary requires compliance with a sophisticated regulatory framework.
LHK Advocates advises on all aspects of capital markets law, including initial public offerings (IPOs), rights issues, bond and commercial paper issuances, collective investment scheme formation, private equity fund structuring, and ongoing compliance with CMA regulations. We represent issuers, underwriters, fund managers, and investors.
Our capital markets practice is grounded in a thorough understanding of the CMA Act, the CMA Regulations, the NSE Listing Rules, and the Companies Act provisions governing public companies. We deliver advice that is both legally rigorous and commercially pragmatic, helping clients access capital efficiently while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
