Our litigation practice extends to all courts throughout Uganda at all jurisdictional levels from the Magistrates’ Courts to the Supreme Court. The Litigation is based on a wide area of research through the existing law libraries in the country. Our litigation practice includes commercial and civil litigation, banking, bankruptcy, insurance, debt recovery, criminal law, tax, intellectual property, computer misuse, employment, contract, human rights and public interest litigation among others. At a time when the regular courts are overburdened by the large number of pending law suits, many Advocates, their Clients and most businessmen and women seek speedier disposition of their disputes through arbitration, mediation or other methods of resolving these differences outside the traditional courts of law. Our Firm is very keen on employing this technique as it saves the Client both time and money. The firm has a very well experienced team that has acquired extensive training in ADR.
We have a wealth of experience in all areas
of transactional and solicitor work including
but not limited to business advisory, corporate
matters in line with the current corporate
governance requirements, immigration, Foreign
direct investment matters among others. Our
experienced staff delivers timely quality advisory
services that answer our Clients’ complex
business needs and guide informed decision
making.
The majority of our Clientele comprises mainly of financial institutions,
hospitality industry, real estate, natural resources, renewable
energy, oil and gas, government bodies, micro finance institutions,
international and local non-governmental organizations, insurance
companies, industrial and other commercial establishments.
We provide corporate secretarial services such as attending board meetings for purposes of minute taking and providing legal guidance at meetings when required. We provide legal opinions to boards and we shall handle all corporate legal requirements on call if we are retained by a client. This service is very efficient for clients who may not have in- house counsel or need external opinions or are in need of a support legal team without blowing their employee budget. We also handle labour and employee related matters on behalf of our corporate clients.
We handle multiple land transactions including verification of title to land, negotiation of purchases/sales transactions, drafting and execution of contracts, creation of leases, and registration of transfers, mortgages and debentures as well as handling litigation incidental to the afore-mentioned transactions.

The exploration, extraction and
processing of natural resources not
only is a vital industry in itself, it also
fuels several other industries that
power the Ugandan Economy. Over
the years, companies in this industry
have faced significant changes to
the way they operate, including
consolidation, price fluctuations and
operational efficiency. Environmental
concerns and an increasingly stringent
regulatory environment continue to
place new pressures on mining and oil
and gas companies and with our years
of experience we understand the
important issues that affect our Clients.
We provide sound advice on the
legal and regulatory framework in this
area and represent our foreign clients
through the necessary procedures
of acquiring interests in Uganda from
incorporation, licensing through to
protection of licensed tenements to
negotiations with government and all
attendant procurement processes.
Our Firm prides in the experience
acquired over the years in the field
of debt collection. Much as this is
a sensitive area, where Counsel
may have to adopt a number of
ways to get the debtor to pay up,
we have devised various effective
ways which we use to recover our
Clients’ debt. This is made possible
by our negotiation and arbitration
skills employed in debt collection and
management. Litigation is only used
as a last resort after careful assessment
of the possibility of success which
advice is given to our Client before
commencement of proceedings and
only for the debtors who prove to be
unresponsive.
