As leading employment lawyers in Kenya, Omire Law Advocates provides comprehensive legal services for both employees and employers. We navigate the complexities of Kenya's Employment Act 2007, the Labour Relations Act 2007, and the Work Injury Benefits Act with precision and expertise.

Our labour law attorneys in Nairobi have extensive experience representing clients before the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC), wrongful dismissal cases, redundancy matters, and workplace disputes. We understand that employment issues affect livelihoods and business operations, requiring swift and effective resolution.

Whether you're an employee facing unfair treatment or an employer seeking compliance advisory, our employment law team delivers strategic representation that protects your rights and interests while achieving practical solutions.

Unfair Dismissal & Wrongful Termination

Kenya's Employment Act entitles employees to fair treatment and due process before termination. If you have been dismissed without notice, without a fair hearing, or without valid reason, you may have a claim for unfair termination. Our unfair dismissal lawyers in Nairobi file claims before the ELRC, pursue reinstatement or compensation, and represent clients at all stages of the tribunal process. We have successfully recovered compensation for hundreds of wrongfully dismissed employees across Kenya.

Employment Contracts & Workplace Policies

A carefully drafted employment contract is essential for both employers and employees. Our employment contract lawyers draft and review employment agreements, executive service contracts, confidentiality agreements, and restrictive covenants. For employers, we develop HR policies, staff handbooks, and disciplinary procedures that comply with Kenya's labour laws and reduce the risk of employee claims.

Redundancy & Retrenchment

Redundancy processes in Kenya are strictly regulated under the Employment Act. Failure to follow the correct procedure — including consultation with employees, notification to the Cabinet Secretary for Labour, and payment of the legally required redundancy package — exposes employers to significant liability. Our redundancy lawyers guide employers through compliant restructuring and defend employees whose redundancy was handled improperly.

Workplace Discrimination & Harassment

Kenya's Employment Act and the Constitution prohibit workplace discrimination on grounds including gender, race, religion, disability, and HIV status. Our employment discrimination lawyers represent victims of workplace discrimination and harassment, filing complaints with the relevant regulatory authorities and pursuing claims before the ELRC.
