LEGAL AUDIT & COMPLIANCE

The Firm has qualified and trained legal auditors who undertake legal audit services for our clients. The scope of our legal audit and compliance services entail;

1. Legal Compliance Audit: We conduct thorough audits of an entity’s choice and structure, recent board actions, and related documentation. Our review covers protection of intellectual property, pending or potential litigation, insurance coverage, hiring and firing practices, applicable laws, employment agreements, and sales and marketing practices. Additionally, we navigate the complexities of various regulatory bodies in Kenya, providing advisory services and assisting clients in obtaining necessary licenses, permits, and approvals to ensure full compliance.

2. Litigation Audit: We assess how our clients hire, utilize, and manage outside counsel, and review their litigation information systems to evaluate how litigation details are communicated and acted upon by senior management. Our audit also examines the choice of jurisdictions, the cost, efficiency, and quality of legal counsel, and determines whether the company is effectively utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution processes.

Additionally, WKM LLP Advocates provides Legal Training Services to corporate firms, government institutions, and non-governmental organizations through our Compliance and Training Division. This division specializes in delivering tailored training and developing compliance manuals to ensure clients adhere to applicable laws. Our team of lawyers allocates the necessary resources efficiently, aligning with the client’s schedule to address the scope of the training effectively.
