Complex environmental regulations exist at all levels of government in Kenya and, in one form or another, impact nearly every business. These regulations are often vague and open to judicial interpretation, which can create uncertainty for corporations and their officers and directors. Furthermore, penalties for violations are steep.

Corporations need lawyers skilled in navigating through the many layers of regulations and experienced with devising risk avoidance strategies. M&A lawyers understand environmental issues in the energy, resource and manufacturing industries and are committed to providing timely and reliable solutions to their environmental law regulatory challenge while effectively resolving environmental disputes. We also have experience in public interest environment litigation.

Climate change has also borne new legal practices such as carbon emission and trading agreements, carbon credit financing and climate financing agreements. These high specialized fields are regulated at both international and national level and require navigation of various regulatory requirements for accreditation. At M&A, we understand the complexities involved and are involved in advising and structuring transactional documents in carbon credits trading, leasing and climate change financing.
