Legal Documents for Kenya
Create free legal documents tailored to Kenya law. All templates comply with local legislation.
Legal System
Common law system based on the 2010 Constitution with elements of customary and Islamic law. Key legislation includes the Employment Act 2007, Companies Act 2015, and Land Registration Act 2012.
Kenyan legal documents sit on a statutory backbone that was substantially modernised in the last decade: the Companies Act 2015 (with the model articles in the Companies (General) Regulations, 2015) governs company formation and resolutions, the Employment Act 2007 sets minimum terms for every contract of service, and the Land Registration Act 2012 consolidated how interests in land are recorded. Business filings run through the Business Registration Service, and a growing share of registry interactions is digital-first.
Every Kenyan template in this library names the statute it is drafted against — a board resolution recites the Companies Act 2015, an employment contract tracks the Employment Act 2007 minimums, a tenancy agreement reflects the rent-restriction and landlord-tenant framework that applies to the premises type. Start from the category that matches your document, and check the key-facts box on each template for the governing law and execution requirements (witnesses, attestation) before signing.
