Lawtus: Legal for Founders

Your Legal Blueprint for Startup Success

Welcome to Lawtus: Legal for Founders, the must-listen podcast empowering African entrepreneurs to conquer legal and compliance hurdles with confidence. Hosted by Keega Gachutha, Managing Partner at Keega & Company Advocates LLP in Nairobi, Kenya, this weekly series delivers practical, actionable insights from Africa's top legal minds, tailored for the continent's dynamic startup ecosystem.

As a Founder, you are building the future, but hidden legal traps can put everything at risk. A poorly drafted shareholder agreement could let a co-founder claim your equity. An Intellectual Property (IP) oversight might weaken your brand or miss critical deadlines. Non-compliance with laws like Kenya's Companies Act 2015 or Data Protection Act 2019 could trigger audits or license suspensions. These aren't just challenges, they are potential startup killers.

Being a founder is tough and overwhelming. You need a trusted guide. You need Lawtus.
