Charting the Path Ahead: Anticipating Trends of Kenya’s Legal Landscape in 2024
As we embark on a new year, it is essential to reflect on the evolving landscape of the legal industry and anticipate the trends that will shape the collective journey in 2024. The legal and compliance space is undergoing transformative changes, driven by an increased focus on compliance and regulation, a global shift towards good governance, streamlining of land registration services and structures, regulation and onboarding of emerging technologies and restructuring of government services.
In this inaugural alert of 2024, we aim to provide you with insights into what the year ahead holds with respect to legal and compliance and the projected effects.
Key among the issues we shall look into are:
| 1. Restructuring of the Kenyan Government and Its Effect on the Flow of Business. Restructuring of government entities holds profound implications for both businesses and individuals alike. We have a look at how this is likely to affect you as a business. |
| 2. Navigating the Global Shift Towards Good Governance: Do’s, Don’ts, and Areas of Focus. Devolution is one of the most noticeable changes brought about by the Constitution of Kenya, in 2010. In that light; a set of guidelines has emerged over the years in response to the increasing acknowledgement of the pivotal role of effective governance that we critically have a look at. |
