‘Bowmans Kenya have excellent experience and expertise in employment and labour law matters.’
‘The team were able to provide high-quality urgent support that we required for an employment matter in Kenya recently and it was with their expertise that we were able to avoid a potentially bigger impact on the issue we faced. This expertise was reflected both at a partner and associate level which indicates an ability to help clients from a wider spectrum.’
‘Irene Fwaya was an invaluable help to us at a critical time during which our HR team required assistance on a restructuring matter. Her immediate availability and prompt advice on many issues was precisely what we required given the nature of the situation at the time.’
