CLIENT ALERT:
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) PANDEMIC
BUSINESS CONTINUITY STATEMENT
Following the global coronavirus pandemic, our service delivery has been severely
affected. As we continue to observe the World Health Organization and Government of
Kenya directives on personal safety, we inform our clients as follows:
Office Functions and Meetings: Our offices shall remain closed until further
notice and our staff will continue to work from home. All scheduled in-person meetings
will be held via videoconferencing, phone and/or email. Only very essential in-person
meetings shall be held, and our team will reach out to clients individually for these.
Intellectual Property: At the time of this statement, registrations and related
filings are ongoing. We shall continue to prosecute these and update all clients
individually.
Conveyancing: All transactions are affected by the Government’s closure of all
land offices and registries. We shall advise further when their reopening is announced.
Business Registration Services and Companies Registry: All transactions
requiring physical attendance at the banking hall are affected by their closure by the
Government. Online-based transactions are continuing.
Immigration: All transactions are affected by the Government’s suspension of all
national and foreign national services. We urge all clients who risk falling out of status
during this period to contact us urgently.
Litigation: All transactions are affected by the scaling down of operations by the
Judiciary. We will counsel clients individually on their cases.
Contracts: Clients will need to look closely at the force majeure clauses of
various contracts. We shall counsel clients individually on their cases.
We commit to serve all clients as efficiently as possible within the prevailing
circumstances and to keep delays and interruptions at a bearable minimum. For further
